Taking the GMAT Prep late in the game

by georgeung » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:09 am
I was curious to know if I should take the GMAT Prep five days before my test. I've been taking the GMAT Kaplan tests for the past two months, once a week.

I'm assuming there's nothing else to work on and learn from; I should already know it. I'm just thinking about taking these tests for endurance, but the scores may play with my emotions.

Please let me know your opinion.

A couple reasons to use GMAT Prep:

1. The types of questions on the GMAT Prep exams are very similar to the types of questions you'll see during the real thing.

2. The interface of the GMAT Prep exams is exactly like the real thing. And the interface is a little awkward in my opinion. So some familiarity helps.

Hmm, I didn't really think of that. Thank you for pointing that out. I guess I'll take at least one test and try not to let the score effect me either way.

You should absolutely use the GMAT prep CAT tests, as well as paper tests. These are THE most ACCURATE material available, and in conjunction with the the most recent OGs (11, 12, purple and green) provide the most robust and real study resources available.

If you're scoring so close to 800 on your Kaplan tests, and the OGs, then you're right: you've probally mastered all the content. Make sure your mindset is completely in the best place, and your endurance up to the task...and you'll be ready to ride!

Good Luck!
