I have taken all the MGMAT test as well as the GMATPrep 1 exam. I am circling around the 650 mark which I am happy with for now. I have four days to go. I am thinking of doing two practice tests in an exam like environment. I am thinking of doing the practice tests as if it were the test day basically trying to duplicate at least two days of test taking. I just want to know that if my test is on Tuesday, is it a good idea to do full practice tests on Sunday and Monday? Or would you recommend just doing 1 test on Sunday and relaxing on Monday before the big day. Please advise. Thank you.

Great question. I would recommend relaxing on Monday. Do NOT take a practice test the day before your test. Do not even study much or really at all the day before! This test is very much about reasoning, and in order to reason effectively you must be well rested. This is not a test that you can cram for.

I would actually recommend a practice test today, then study strengths primarily (and maybe a little weaknesses) a few hours tomorrow, then an hour or 0 hours of studying Monday, then a few easy warm up problems that you already know the answer to Tuesday (I'm talking 10 minutes), than score an 800

I hope this helps!!!

I suggest that you relax the day before your test.
- Read a book
- Go to a movie
- Get a massage
- Go for a walk
- Eat a nice meal
And visualize a calm and confident test-taking experience.
. . . then visualize reading the score report and crushing your target score!

Cheers,
Brent

"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."
