I'm taking the GMAT next Monday, (Feb, 8th). Advice is always welcome in this moment of desperation!

I've scoring from a range of 660 to 730 in CAT practice tests (Q 47 -> 50 and V 32 -> 38). I'm aiming at 700. How should I focus during this last week?? Would really appreciate any help! The heroes who have beaten the test have additional suggestions?

It is still missing to do the Princeton free practice. Is it worth to evaluate my skills?

Now I'm trying to make a final review on the theory re-evaluating my mistakes. Is it a good strategy?

Good luck to everyone cracking the Test!

I would do a verbal immersion. I definitely wish I would have done that before my test.

Don't do too much before on that Sunday. Relax.. give your brain a rest... you'll be able to recall everything anyway.. you won't be able to put anything else in your brain the day before that will make a difference.

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

I think a light review would be the best strategy for the last few days before your test. Make sure to re-do problems you've had trouble with, especially those from the official guides! Don't forget to go over a few templates for the AWA - this is important, because it sets the tone for your test: if you're confident after it, you'll have a much better time with quant.

As mentioned above, you need to rest on the eve of your test. I personally stayed in bed all day and watched movies!

I think a final review on my mistakes, and of course, a better focus in verbal won't hurt! This is exactly what I'm doing...

In AWA, the templates are already in my blood and SC always request a final review, I believe.

Thank you and good luck for future test takers. I just hope to perform well.

"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."
