Last week of prep, what to do?
How should I spend my last week before my test? Should I do one more practice test? Just keep reviewing old tests? Continue doing practice problems in my weak areas? I have read that on the day (or 2) prior to your test you should do nothing related to the test.

If a question does not directly state simple or compound, should I assume compound? Will questions on the GMAT always state what type of interest is required?

Use of "I" in AWA
I've read various books on the AWA and have gotten different answers. Are you allowed to use "I" and "In my opinion" in your essays? Is it frowned upon?
