Last few days before the exam

by Suz » Sun Aug 12, 2012 10:18 am
Hi all,

How many days before the exam should I stop giving practice tests(full length)? The stress is getting to me now- and my score dipped in the last practice test- and I'm pretty certain it was because my stress levels are shooting up. Any recommendations on what I can do about that? Also- is it a good idea to do timed sets of problems the day before the exam- or should I just relax and do nothing?

Thanks

In my opinion it is better to do nothing GMAT-related on the day before the exam. You should be relaxed and have a fresh mind to deal with the test on the G-day.

I agree 100% with Kasia - give your brain a rest.

I'd like to add that students should not take the test unless they have already proven to themselves (via practice tests) that they can achieve their target score. If you've already beaten your target score on 2 or more practice tests, there should be no need to do any work the day before your test.

Cheers and all the best on test day!
