FOUR (4) Days Left!! Take another (final) practice test?

by Purusha » Wed Aug 18, 2010 8:11 pm

Guys,

My test day for the GMAT is coming up in FOUR days!

I have taken 8 CATs so far (4 MGMATs and 2 GMAT Preps twice).

I still have 2 MGMAT CATs that I could take but honestly, I feel somewhat burned out. I'm still planning to take at least one in a couple of days but what do you guys recommend?

From my diagnostic CAT (GMAT Prep 1), I've increased my score only 20 points after 6 weeks of studying!

Most of the mistakes I make on the CATs are rather trivial like not reading the question carefully etc.

What strategy do you guys suggest for the last 4 days before D-Day?

Help!

The most important thing for you is to be in good mental shape the day of the test. If you think you need rest, then by all means take it.

The thing that I would focus the most on is reviewing. Go over all of your mistakes and other questions that you found important, and re-read books (Manhattan SC for example)

Finally, stamina is important. Everyone is different. Most people build up stamina by taking a lot of tests, however, if you think this is going to cause you to be tired on the day of the test you shouldn't do it. Personally, I only needed a day to really relax.
