Changes in resources/timed practice/anything else you did differently to up your score the second time? Well , I didn't use any more resources since I knew that the resources I have are sufficient....

I have 2 days left for the GMAT and I thank God that I read your post. I too had almost ignored AWA till now. But seeing your story I think I'll work on it for the next 2 days.


Just a quick question as I am going to take the GMAT on the coming Monday. Does one need to select the list of schools before the test or after the test ?

I have heard better things about Knewton CATs than the Kaplan ones but the problem with those is that you can't have them standalone. You can purchase them only if you enrol for the Knewton ones.
