later in the day i'm going to give another test. is this the right approach? please advise!
I think this is a great strategy. Use the CATs to see what weaknesses you still have and also use them for pacing. You should be good, and do well on your actual exam. Just try not to burn out, that would be bad.
Thanks...how did your exam go?

actually i'm just using a copy of the study guides :P shhhhh. i don't have access to mgmt cats. i'm relying on the gmat prep cats and kaplan to an extent.

best of luck!

one silly question from me : " From where can I purchase MGMAT CATs? " :roll:
I would say don't purchase them. Just buy one of their books and you get access to their CATs for a year. The book is cheaper than just buying the CATs, if I remember correctly.
thanks osirus0830! you rock! :)
