Hi,

I was curious of people's thoughts on taking a practice CAT tomorrow when my GMAT is on Monday. I took a Kaplan practice test in the actual Pearson Centre and scored a 640, then took one of the official GMAT CAT's yesterday and got a 650 (V38,Q42).

I'm feeling quite good now as my target score is a 670. I don't know if it's worth just going over problems, or taking another practice CAT. My concern about the latter is the fact that I may get a terrible score, which could knock my confidence.

Any advice would be welcome

Thanks,

mdwolman

only go for a CAT at this point of time, when you have studies a new topic since the last test you gave.

This is the best time to brush up your fundamentals, touchbase every area you found difficult today,saturday... tommorow sunday,work a bit on areas which you are more comfortable with.

relax for a while... focus mentally hw you are gonna crack it, perhaps pay a visit to your exam center, see how you can reduce the last day anxiety/last minute problems and nervousness...

a new CAT.... maybe...noway!

"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."
