GMAT Score:710

Hi,

I have taken 5 of the Manhattan Practice Tests and have scored an average of Q45 although this represents the improvement I've made over time. My last and best practice exam I scored Q49. Today, I took a crack at the GMAT Prep and was unpleasantly surprised with a Q42, much lower than my target score of >/= 47. This worries me a little bit since I am taking the exam on Tuesday, is it possible that I got used to the Manhattan question style? Is it even that different? I missed some very easy questions including the first two which definitely contributed to the lower score.

Also, what would be a good plan of action. I have two full days of studying to go, tomorrow and Sunday, and then I plan on taking it easy on Monday before the test. I am thinking of re-taking the GMAT Prep Quant section 1-2 times and finishing the 50DS and 50PS questions I have left in the OG Quant Review book.

Any words of advice or encouragement? I was pretty disappointed when I saw that score because I know I can do better than that, and I'd hate to do the same on the real thing.

Thanks,

Brian

Manhattan has a limited pool of questions. So as tests go they run out of tough questions (if u have got to them already). giving you easier questions and a higher score.

GMATPrep more represents your actual performance. That said, since this is the first time you are taking a GMAT Prep test, it could have affected your performance.

For 2 days, I'd say just revise all the fundamentals, review your errors in GMAT Prep and solve some problems from the must_gmat_problems.doc (198 questions). Dont stress out. Take it easy (have suffered myself). take the other gmat prep test in full conditions.
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)

Thanks for your advice,

I've took the Quant section that same GMAT Prep several times to run out its questions (just Q) and then took the other and scored a Q48 so I think I'm back on track. I'll keep practicing. So far not a lot of stress so hopefully that will stay the same. With luck (and effort), I'll soon be posting a Beat the GMAT success story soon to share my strategies with others : )

Best,

Brian
