Good morning. I hope this e-mail finds everyone very well.

Well, I ended up taking my first gmatprep practice test yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately my score was as follows:

570
Verbal: 34
Math: 35

The previous practice tests I have taken were Manhattan Gmat tests. The three scores I received on those tests were 530, 580, and 630.
I have been preparing for the gmat for the past 3 months and I recently finished the Manhattan Gmat course.

In looking over the questions I missed on gmatprep it appears that a few of them were due to simple mistakes that I should not have made. I would say about 75% were attributed to the fact that I did not know the answer.

Given this information, it seems that I am destined to score below 600 on my gmat next week, even though my goal all along has been 650+.

I was wondering if anyone had some last minute advice -- I take my test next Saturday -- that might help me before next Saturday.

Thank you all.

My advice: Do not take the test if you do not feel that you are ready. I took my test earlier than I should have (I knew I was not ready for Verbal). So unless there is a definite need to take the test soon, I would postpone. There is nothing you can learn in a few days that will significantly raise your score, IMHO.

Learn from the simple mistakes you made and try to avoid making them again. Have a simple strategy for approaching each type of question. Be positive and do your best!!
