I think you'll find that you simply don't have enough time to dream and worry during the test. Even if you have jitters when you first sit down, once the essays come up on screen, I think you'll find yourself calm down. Most importantly, though, just take it one step at a time. Break those daunting ...

Oh, sorry. I didn't realize what you were asking.

I think you can definitely get to your goal by 2/2. In order to get a good feel for the question types giving you trouble, you should try to drill down on each. You might want to look at study tools that let you hone in--for example, do 50 Sentence corrections with only verb errors, and you'll start...

But it's great that you're taking a crack at the GMAT again. Regardless of whether you end up taking a class or not, one of the most...
