Hello GMAT Gurus,

My test is scheduled for November 1st at 8:00am.I just need extra motivation. I feel like im hitting a wall. Did any of you feel burnt out at this time? Felt exhausted and information over load?
I'm studying 4hrs a day now and weekends I study for 8hrs.
I'm just practicing past questions. Most people on here did have the MGMAT books which I don't and not sure if its to late to buy it.
My books are:
Cracking the GMAT Princeton
Kaplan premier
Kaplan advanced
OG 12th Edition
Nova text book
Sahils notes

How many past questions do i tackle a day?I have gone through almost all of the OG.
I use the kaplan premier mostlyfor strategising

Thanks in advance for your tips,any tips to take me where im going

Rine

Dont buy anything now, 5 days before the test. Just relax.You are quite well off.Dont study anything and just let yourself loose for a day may be. Just give the GMAT Prep twice in these few days,dont bother even if you would have given those 2 tests multiple times. With the amount of work you have put in, you should easily sail through,provided you get up on the right side of the bed on test day.

To conclude, just relax and dont bother much. Good Luck!!

You don't report that you have completed any CAT practice tests. You will want to make sure that when you do take the official GMATPrep test that you do it at the same time of day as your test will be, be sure to do both sections of the AWA, take the same length of breaks (8 minutes between AWA and Quant and between Quant and Verbal).

That is the most important thing that you can do in the next week. You want to make sure that there are no surprises on test day! You may also want to visit the test center in advance as well.

If you have your CAT scores and need any more specific advice just post it!

Good luck!

"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."
