Exam Tommrow - Plz Help.

by zico20 » Mon May 11, 2009 9:50 am
hey fellaz,

ok, so after doing pretty much everything that could possibly be done (princeton review, blue purple and orange OG, and the 8 manhattan gmats)
I did my last GMAT prep exam and scored a 500.

While that is somewhat an improvment, I am really worried that this is the maximum I can expect on tommorow's exam !! All i need is a 550. More is better. I am not going through all the questions I did wrong. And for some reason I see my mistakes as silly and stupid. What can I do to get 110% tommorow out of all the preparations that I have done the past 3 months?

I would really really appreciate your help.

I agree with the above advice; take the night off and relax! You already know that cramming is not a good strategy for studying for the GMAT, so don't bother doing more/harder problems and stressing yourself out if you get a few wrong or don't understand why you're getting something wrong.

Get a good night's rest, review some quick and easy concepts if you feel like you have to study a bit, and good luck!
