Readiness for GMAT

by amvins » Thu Sep 27, 2012 9:44 am
My GMAT is scheduled in next week. This is my second GMAT attempt after 3 years and I'm better prepared this time. I'd like to get your thoughts on how to decide whether I'm ready for the exam or not? My GMATPrep scores are close to the target score. However, what's the acid test to know that you are 100% ready for the exam.

Thanks,

The GMAT exam itself is the only "acid test". The closest second is GMAT prep, which simulates the questions and computer adaptation, but not necessarily the stress and anxiety. Go in with confidence that your scores are there.

I agree what machichi.
Confidence is a key ingredient to achieving your target score. So, the acid test is "Are you feeling confident?"
One way to acquire this confidence is to achieve your target score on at least two practice tests before you take the official test.

Cheers,
Brent
