Something that worked for me on test day -- I had a 11:30 am test, and the few hours between waking up and test time can feel like eternity. I just wanted to go there and get it over with. After 9 am or so, I completely shut my books, switched on some favorite music and relaxed. On my way to the test center too, I turned on some music, sang along (even though I didn't know the lyrics, I just made something up - it was quite funny & I was laughing at myself :) ). I really feel this helped me relax.

YMMV based on your personal preferences, but thought I'd pass this along.

One more day to go.. :( I'm really anxious and not sure how to spend my day...I have been checking out some OG questions..doing some RC and CR. Now plan to do some SCs... I'm really really tempted to take a test.

I took Powerprep on Thursday scored 720
GMATprep II on Friday - 750 (Q40 V51)
GMATprep I on Saturday - 750(Q41 v50)

Didn't do a test yesterday...My test is tomorrow (Tuesday) at 11 am..I'm really tempted to do the GMATprep II again..not sure whether it's a good idea. Can anyone please help, let me know how I should spend my day..I don't plan to do anything after 6 pm..So I have about 7 hours to do something productive.

Also, I need some advice on keeping time. I'm able to finish both sections comfortably, however I'm looking for a strategy to efficiently keep track of time. How frequently should I look at the clock? I find it distracting

Appreciate your help

thanks

don't worry about it (i know easier said than done)... watch a funny movie tonight... relax... do you know where your testing center is? do you know about parking? do you know what to bring.... all that stuff?
