hey everyone

i took the Gmat once- about 2 months ago. got 530- most of my problems were in the reading comprehension/critical reasoning.

in the past 2 months, i purchased a RC book, did more problems, did math problems at well ( the ones i did wrong earlier).

what should i do in these next 2 weeks ? more GMAT prep tests ( i took them already 2-3 times, got around 620-640), Manhattan tests ( i did them already about 2 months ago), random problems that i got wrong in the past, or just purchase older Gmat exams?
i'm kind of confused what to do now.
please help.

thank you
Alex

You could do one or two CATs (GMATprep or MGMAT), but doing more would not help you very much. In your last two weeks, I suggest you focus on your weaknesses and concentrate on stress management.

It would also be a good idea to review some of the problems you got wrong, especially if they were from the OGs.

I'm not sure if the old paper tests for the GMAT are worth buying, especially if you have not completely exhausted everything else.

If you need more targeted practice for CR, the CR Bible is a good resource. However, if you can't buy it from a local retailer, ordering one on amazon.com might take too long. It's up to you, I guess...
