30 days to DDay and lack of concentration!!!! Help!!!

by vijayitw » Wed Aug 21, 2013 12:33 pm
Hello all

I am suddenly freaking out!!

I have 30 days before my test and am really worried about my stamina and concentration. If I work on questions in sets of 10, I do well, but as soon as I reach the end of ~30 questions on the test. I start making careless mistakes and am anxious to see the scores. Can you folks please advise on how this issue can be tackled, based on your experiences? I would appreciate any possible help

Regards
Vijay

Hi vijayitw,

How have you been scoring on your practice CATs?

Hello Rich

I haven taken one practice test until now and scored a 630(Q44, V32). As I was taking it, I could feel the fatigue and my concentration fade away. I am planning to take to more tests starting next week

Regards
Vijay

Hi vijayitw,

I'm going to suggest that you take another CAT in the next few days and report back with your results. You have enough time to make whatever changes/improvements are necessary to get to 700, but we need at least one more CAT to see how your studying has been going.

Hello Rich

I took the Manhattan GMAT free practice test this morning and got a 640 (Q43, V34). I would be grateful, if you could advise on the next steps that I could take. I must add that, as I approached the verbal section, I was losing concentration fast and by the 12 question in verbal, I was blanking out.

Regards
Vijay
