Preparing for gmat, kind of burnt out.. strategic advice...

by stock2007 » Wed Jan 09, 2008 2:14 pm
hey folks,

appreciate the site, and all ur previous inputs.

almost nearing test day.

was wondering if any of the experts on this forum good give me some sound advice.

I have gone through all the questions and answers of the kaplan gmat, kaplan math workbook, kaplan verbal, princeton review verbal and math workbooks, Official guide verbal and math supplement.

i just finished the OG 11. and have a few days to work over the answers.. i got wrong and right.

i only some more time to take the test

i am feeling burnt out.. i just wanna focus on my weaknesses and take some practice tests..

i got 800 questions to read through from the OG
then work on the SC manhattan guide.
Then work on some permutation, combination, probability, co-ordinate geometry..and some tests.

just advice or views would help.,.. i think i will take the test in 10 days.

cuz i have been doing this for 4 months now and i am so tired.. that its ridiculous.

thanks for input.

my only goal is to get a 770 and above.

You have covered a large volume of problems I guess. But you have not stated what were your practice test scores. The scores would be required to formulate a strategy going forward.

If you have been scoring in your expected range in GMAT prep tests, then I would say you need to relax a bit and concentrate on the variety and quality of problems you are attempting till the test.

well... i took the two tests.. a month ago.. got like 620.. then i went and did like 2000 questions..

now i got to read through all the correct answers i got in the og 11.. i already read through my mistakes.. i still got some mg guides to go through..

but i am now just burning out.. where i feel i just need to takes some practice tests to see where i am. and take the test next week...

but everytime during practice .. i get like one problem out of 40 wrong, i get paranoid.. and feel like doing 100 questions on the topic.. so i have been prolonging sitting down and doing tests now.

my life has come to a standstill.

i took off from work for 3 weeks..

gmat brings life to a standstill

Thank about taking a day or two off, to rest your mind. You don't want to go into your test feeling burnt out at this point!
