1day to G-Day!

by chocoswiss » Wed Aug 25, 2010 7:46 am
So its almost wednesday midnight in s'pore and exam is on fri morn.
Am feeling overwhelmed and confused, my test scores have been a range of 630-690 last 2-3weeks. Done GmAt prep, abt 3 Manhattan Gmat, Princeton free test but didnt finish OG (yikes!!)
Unsure of how to most efficiently use my remaining day tmr. I cant Not revise tmr my aim was to def cross 700barrier and i will just feel restless if i do nothing tmr.

Last min advice etc?
oh yeah, i need to prepare templates also for AWA. Saw some good examples here..havent practiced awa yet either =(

there are a few good iphone apps for practice ques, spe SC and CR which i use while commuting etc but now it seems to no avail

If you're worried about your AWA, you can pay for GMAT Write on MBA.com. This gives you access to a couple of essays that are computer-scored using the exact same algorithm used by the GMAT. I think the AWA templates help a lot because I got a 6 when I tried applying them.

sorry, you are referring to the templates discussed in these forums right? not the mba.com service?
thanks for the tip!

To add to that, I was able to download BTG flash cards app on mine, those come in handy too.. Good Luck!!
Being defeated is often only a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

Actually, I think I looked at templates on PlatinumGMAT.com, but I think they're pretty much the same thing. GMAT Write is just an online thing you pay for that will let you know your actual AWA score. I just mention it because it'll let you know where you stand if you're concerned.

My quant barely touches 45, and when I review most of the mistakes I make are sheer carelessness, I being the impatient person I am, skip steps in calculations and of course end up getting them wrong.. Do share your test experience here!!
Good Luck!

thanks!

I guess I will:
1) go through the questions i have answered wrongly before and thankfully saved screenshots of
2) see if i starred any of the og ques i did manage to try
3) memorize awa template (again, i am less worried about organizing and style than i am about the content of AoI)
4) revise SC rules
5) try to get a decent sleep
