Hi everyone,
I'm taking the GMAT this upcoming Saturday. I attempted to search for a thread like this, but could not find one; if one exists, please post the link!
Anyway, I was wondering what advice people had to someone on test day. Of course, I've been doing problems for 1 hour daily the past three months. I have a good sleep schedule (I go to bed at 9pm and wake up at 5:30 am) and practice GMAT problems in the morning because my test is at 8 am.
My practice test (with AWA) scores are 760 (50Q, 44V; after 1 month studying) and 760 (50Q and 44V; 1 week ago, crazy that it was the exact same). Obviously, I'll be thrilled if I get this on test day.
I read another post that suggested asking for 2 or 3 erasable boards so you don't have to waist time waiting for a new one. Any other suggestions with this? I don't really need it for verbal, just quant.
Any other suggestions about preparing for test day? How early do they let you start your test? Mine is at 8 am, but I'm going to arrive in downtown Chicago (where my test is) early so that I have enough time to wake up, do 5-10 problems so that my brain wakes up, maybe even do some light reading.
Finally, what kind of snacks do people come with? I'm definitely planning on bringing something that I can eat a small amount of quickly between breaks.
Any other advice/suggestions for test-day would be awesome. Regardless of my score, I'm planning on posting a debrief here to let people know how it goes.
Cheers,
Tim
