Lots of people cheat themselves during their practice tests.torofish wrote:What could be the cause of this disappointment?
Nervous?
or the difference between questions difficulty in the real test and the prep?
Thank you
1) Not writing essays
2) Taking long breaks between and during the test
3) Getting across with the OG or GMAT PREP questions that they solved before and USING that extra time to create EXTRA time for the rest of the test.
How do I know all of these ? I have done all of these mistakes during my prep.
And also during the practice test, you are more comfortable with yourself and the test. On the other hand, your EVERY mistakes COUNT in the real test. GMAT is not only a knowledge test, but an ENDURANCE test.
Can you stay FOCUSED for almost 4 hrs ? And just as in a video game, you need to kill the V-monster at the end of the game when you are TIRED and EXHAUSTED.
GMAT also tests what you do under time pressure and in panic. It asks you couple of toughies from outer space , like punches you get when you least expect them, and tests how you stay in balance and good shape.
The more I spend time with GMAT, the more I respect it.
It is a true BEAST and like every beasts, it has a soft belly! If you ever played God of the War, you know what I am talking out!
Good luck,
