What to do a week before the test day?

by ericskchong » Fri Nov 11, 2011 7:51 pm
Hi everyone,

I am taking my GMAT on the 19th. I have finished reading the Kaplan premium book and started to work on the practice problems from the GMAT OG book (red). I am wondering which practice exams you guys recommend besides the two free ones offered by GMAT?

I have never taken the practice tests from GMAT yet and am planning to do one tomorrow and one on Monday. I hope it's not too late.

Back to back practice tests may not be very helpful.
Take one tomorrow (as planned), and shelve the next one to mid next week (if you have to take it).
Utilize your Monday and Tuesday to analyze your strengths and weaknesses.I think it's better to use your next week to work on your strengths and weak areas and completely ditch the second mock test. :)

Cheers!
