Getting Sick - GMAT in 11 Days - Remedies anyone?

by money9111 » Tue Apr 27, 2010 8:01 am
Hi All,

I will be taking the GMAT in 268 hours, but I think I'm coming down with a cold. I figured I would post this, to see if anyone had an ideas on what I should take and what has worked for them in preventing a cold from coming on!

Thank you!

Vitamin C helps. Depending on how sick you are though, there may be nothing you can do at this point.

Are you coming up with excuses to postpone the GMAT!?!? :shock: j/k!

I usually take airborne when I feel a cold coming on.

LOTS of sleep. Seriously, can you take a full day off to just rest?

the pharmacist told me to get echinacea, so I got that. and noooo dave it's not an excuse to postpone the test! I want to take this test already!

I think I might be "sick" on Friday and call out from Work... i definitely need to just relax and rest...and sleep

Consider a day off from studying as well. Watch some stupid movies and eat a good meal. I have a feeling stress might be exacerbating your health too.

Actually that's a good idea... I'll go home back to Jersey on Thursday... relax all day Friday on the couch with ice cream... On Demand... and Soda! (hope no one from work reads this post haha)

Ice cream and Soda? I don't know if thats a good idea!
Have tomato or chicken soup.
Sleep with lots of layers on.. you will hate it because it will be hot, but it will help!
And keep lots of layers when you are awake too!

Goodluck!
