need your advice re the test center/schedule

by yuri » Sat Oct 27, 2007 11:38 pm

What snacks should I take? sugary, protein? protein takes away blood to the stomack, sugar spikes up... yogurt?

What liquids? Energy drinks? Gatorade? plain water?

I have an option of 8 am or 2 pm - what's better you think? I'm not an early person, but also I'm a hungry person. Never quite awake at 8 (mentally) however always hungry around 5-6...

Thank you! Hope the q's aren't super weird...

I ate a bowl of cereal and had a cup of coffee 2 hours before the test. I know everyone recommends utilizing the breaks but I powered through and didn't take any of the optional breaks to refuel, hydrate, etc. I guess I'm impatient.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
