Hey, i'm in such a bad shape right now. I've been preparing for the biggest test of my life for like months on stretch now. GMAT has almost become my body, soul, spirit everything. It's like I've never known anything else. I feel prepared academically to go in and finish it off. But I've been taken over by so much negative energy especially since yesterday and my test is on Monday 24th august.

These last few days before are so important for me and I want to be in the best frame of mind with no negative thoughts in my head. And I know how much family support matters in that. What do you do if your surrounded by people who bear negative thoughts and don't understand you. I need help recomposing myself.

Will Smith in Pursuit of Happiness:

"If you have a dream, go get it. Period".

Nobody can take your dream away. Goto the test centre as if nothing else matters in this world for you that day.

All the Best.

He's has been completely unsupportive since I started preparing. And on top of being completely unhelpful, he will say things like, MBA is bullshit, mba's don't know anything, MBA's just do it bcoz they just want to live in high towers. He calls me 3G generation, and will keep on ridiculing my prepartion and GMAT and MBA on the whole.

Your brother is an idiot. He secretly wants to sabotage you so you will not be more successful than him.

Speaking from experience, my tips for you to maintain energy during the exam is to bring two bananas and keep them in your locker for the breaks and make sure to get a drink of water. Additionally, don't be afraid to take a 30 seconds to one minute break to catch your breath and re-focus during the test.

GL on your exam and please let us all know how you did in a debrief.

"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."
