Hi,

I was curious of people's thoughts on taking a practice CAT tomorrow when my GMAT is on Monday. I took a Kaplan practice test in the actual Pearson Centre and scored a 640, then took one of the official GMAT CAT's yesterday and got a 650 (V38,Q42).

I'm feeling quite good now as my target score is a 670. I don't know if it's worth just going over problems, or taking another practice CAT. My concern about the latter is the fact that I may get a terrible score, which could knock my confidence.

Any advice would be welcome :-)

Thanks,

mdwolman

only go for a CAT at this point of time, when you have studies a new topic since the last test you gave.

This is the best time to brush up your fundamentals, touchbase every area you found difficult today,saturday... tommorow sunday,work a bit on areas which you are more comfortable with.

relax for a while... focus mentally hw you are gonna crack it, perhaps pay a visit to your exam center, see how you can reduce the last day anxiety/last minute problems and nervousness...

a new CAT.... maybe...noway!
