Final Week Advice

by gmatshawn » Mon Jan 26, 2009 12:37 am
Hey guys,

The big day is almost upon me. I'm going to take my first attempt at the GMAT on Friday.

Do you guys have tips on anything particularly useful to do or focus on in the final week of preperation?

Thanks guys!

I recommend your reading this post on the final week: https://www.beatthegmat.com/last-14-days ... t5680.html

In general, start to slow down your prep and get rested (my opinion!).

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Great advice in that link! I also wanted to add that on the day of the test, try not to change your routine - for example, if you usually have a huge breakfast, don't go hungry, and if you usually sleep until noon, don't wake up at the crack of dawn to study. This way you can minimize stress and be more refreshed for the test.

Good luck!
