I have the GMAT in 2 days, and I am not sure what to do. I have a good grasp on the AWA and Vbl sections, but the Quant is flying over my head. I have the 2011 Kaplan Premier Guide and the respective vbl and quant wkbks. I am faced with a couple (or a few decisions) that I would appreciate insight on...
1. Take the GMAT, bomb, and retake in 30 days? (App deadline for school is June 30 - priority was Apr 15)
2. Pay $250 and schedule out 3 weeks?

Either way, I cough up another $250. I am more worried about getting a horrible score on the test and the schools I apply for viewing that score along with my "new" score (which might still be bad).

Thank you so much in advance to anyone for your insight.

If you cancel your gmat test less than 7 days before I am pretty sure you lose the 250. So i would just take it so you get the first experience out of the way- So next time you'll know what to expect and won't have the first time nerves. Many people on here take it 3 or 4 times; I don't think business school cares how many times you take it as long as its not 7.

Even i would suggest the same. You haven't come this far just to back out at the last moment. Be confident, if you are having trouble with quant review whatever you have learnt so far and go crack the exam. Test day anxiety is usual. Learning is a never ending process. Even a person who is confident of getting a 750 will feel that he is a bit unprepared. But don't succumb yourself to all those things. Divert your mind on something else after all GMAT is not the end of everything.

Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

"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."
