Practice Tests & final GMAT

That's a tough ask. But if you have enough confidence, there is no reason you should not do this. I propose the following.
1. Start giving AWA in every test.
2. Analyze your test in detail. Identify your weak points.
3. Try to get 700-800 level challenge questions. The BTG practice questions is a good resource I guess. I have heard good reviews.
4. Monitor your errors.
5. Keep your expectations low. If you get a low score, you should be ready to accept it. Dont pressurize yourself.
6. If you have enough time in all these 15 days, I also recommend studying the important question types from Powerscore CR Bible.
7. Maybe Kaplan 800?

Hats off to you for trying!

Hey thanks for the nice & detailed opinion. Recent Update:

MGMAT CAT 2 : 630 : Q:47; V: 30 . An improvement of 90 points from my previous test. Gud for keeping the spirits high.

MGMAT CAT 3 is scheduled day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is reserved for scrutiny of MGMAT CAT 2.

All the best Ankur.
You must be targetting R3 of 2012? Else i feel there is no need to put yourself in a pressure cooker situation.If thats the case then wish you all the luck.
Also, please see that you dont burn urself wth all the practice tests. i would surely have not liked it, but then all of us are not the same.
May be you can use Stacey's approach to analyse your practice tests,(though time consuming, effective).
All the best!!
Keep us updated.

Hey , thanks for taking interest.

R3 of 2012 - I think you meant to say R3 of 2011. No i am not looking into admissions this year. I am looking to apply in R 1 around september this year. I am thinking of giving GMAT in a hurry as i feel i have been procrastinating a lot in the last few months & that is definitely hurting my self confidence. Secondly i don't have much work pressure now , so can use the Time effectively for studying. Thirdly i am ready to take the test again in case i do not perform well on the 1st time.(So i can give GMAT another chance to GMAT around mid june or July starting.).

I know it is not necessary at this point of time to put myself in a pressure cooker, but i think it will hurt my self confidence a lot rather than scoring well on GMAT.

After all Self belief matters in life more than the GMAT . Wow i am becoming philosophical .LOLLLLLLL

Hey rohu ,

Can u tell me where could i find stacey's way of analyzing my Tests.Please post the link.

Keep posting . Love to see people taking interests in my prep. Thanks once gain.

Sorry that was a typo. I did mean to say 2011.
Analysing practice test link, here you go, its a 2 part article, at the end you of the article you will find the link to the other part.

but let me warn you it takes time to do such analysis. as you are nearing your tst date, i would advise you can to analysis on the timing part and the assessment reports.
as you are taking MGMAT tests, they already provide you with detailed analysis, assessment reports etc.

Cheers,
