Hi,
I am 6 days away from my test day. Really really nervous.
Any tips/suggestions/advice from anyone would be really really appreciated!
What should I do? Take tests everyday? Go through material from Manhattan/ Kaplan etc or just stick with the official guide?

Please helppp!

Well tanya, I will suggest that just brush up the concepts that you feel are not up to the mark, and as for 2 days before the test, neither take any mock CAT nor do anything else, just relax before the exam. Also try to adjust your body clock to stay awake during the hours your GMAT is scheduled and just give your best in the exam.

Hey..Never take mock tests on successive days. You have to give at least 2 days break between two tests. Just take AWA section as well while taking tests during this week. Just prepare mentally. There is nothing much you can add in the last few days. Try not to read anything new and just revise.
Cheers!

Hey Tanya,

I just took my test today and can recommend a few things..if they help...

1. You have 5 + 1 days +1 is the day before the exam, just take it easy on that day..just review your flashcards
2. Don't take tests everyday..I would recommend max 2 tests...
3. Remember that the actual GMAT is not that bad...its doable..
