Hey Forum,
I am taking the GMAT in 8 days (April 25th). I have had wild swings during the first few practice tests, however I think I'm finding a range. I am content with anything 700 or higher. I took the Manhattan GMAT course (first 4 practice tests). I had a terrible timing problem on Quant, but I think I'm getting that under control (only had to guess on last two on the most recent test). Verbal I have been ending with more than 5 minutes to spare, consistently (I just get nervous that I'll run out of time I guess).
My question to you guys, is what should I do before my test. I am planning on one more practice test Saturday (4 days before test). I still haven't taken a test with essays, so I am practicing 1 essay a day until test day. I have flash cards (mahattan and beat the gmat). Asides from those items, what else should I do prior to my test? I am really nervous becuase I am right near my target score. I am afraid of test day jitters pulling me below the edge that I'm so delicately walking on (700).

Any advice would be appreciated!
p.s. sorry for the rambling-nature of the post.
