Last Days Before the Test
Any tips for what type of studying I should be doing the last few days before the test? Specifically what, if anything, should I do the day before the test and the day of the test? My test is Monday afternoon.
I just completed a practice exam which I am about to review.

Just completed another Kaplan CAT which I haven't reviewed in depth yet. Q:40 V:39 Total 650 I was really surprised I even did that well in Quant, I thought I had really struggled with it. At first glance it does look like I got a lot of answers wrong in that section. Looking even further it looks I...

I see how you did the factoring, but could you explain how you got to: (10^3+1)(10^3-1)/10(10^2+1)(10^2-1)
Im a little confused

Apologies for not being more clear with my question and not posting the possible answers but it looks like you guys figured it out. I was a little confused whether or not there was any kind of rule for when you add or subtract exponents in these cases. For instance in the first question when trying ...

Struggling at the end
When taking practice exams I find myself struggling with questions at the end of each section. Sometimes it is because I haven't left myself enough time but other times I make stupid mistakes because my brain is fatigued. Any recommendations on how to beat this fatigue at the end issue? Yes, I alway...

Ok perfect. So now, to break 650 with some margin for error you need about 5 or 6 more section points, which means about 6 more right answers. No big deal. You have more than two weeks to get better at 6 to 8 things so that you lock up those 5 - 6 section points. One way to achieve that would be to...

Given that it does not contribute to one's total score, how much time should one spend studying IR compared to Quant and Verbal?
