Last week strategy?

by BlueRain » Sat Aug 16, 2008 10:25 pm
Taking the test on 8/23, what would be the prep schedule for the last week? What would you guys recommend?

I am thinking about thoroughly going through the past CATs and practice questions so I can remind myself where I am prone to make mistakes. I also want to try to get the AWA template down since I have not paid much attention to AWA in general.

yeah ur right... i would suggest concetrate on ur strong points now rather than trying to understanding a newer concept or getting worried abt some tough SC/CR. i am sure u wud have given some practice tests.. try doing the OG again .. its the best source as every knows..i would not recommend going through anything new now... just concentrate on basics.. i am sure u will do well..


do let me know if u require any help..

I will be taking the GMAT on the 25th. I have been struggling with CR and SC. Yesterday I picked up the Manhattan GMAT SC book, its about 130 pages. I have no plan on devoting my next week to this book, but I decided to work it into my study schedule. I am only getting about 50% of my SC questions right. I hoping this will help improve my score a bit, but nothing huge.

My goals for the next week:
Finish the 30-40 Questions Left in each section of the OG
Take two GMATprepCats
Take 1 Kaplan Cat
Practice passage maps for AWA.
Work a bit on SC

Also, I have a five days off before the GMAT.
