Hi All,
I've been studying for the GMAT since the beginning of February. I'm scheduled to take the exam May 3. During the beginning of my prep I made significant gains in my CAT scores... from 610 -580 - 690 - 690
My verbal scores were 40 (89%), 31 (66%) (rushed through to see increase in Quant score), 42 (95%) and 44 (97%).
Since that fourth score I focused my review on the Quant side, and have made marginal improvements 50% - 57%. But in addition I've seen my Verbal score take a huge hit - I've scored 590 and 510! in my past two GMAT CATs while my Quant was slightly improving.
My question - is there any recommendation on taking a few days off and to not think about the exam? Or how do you keep your "cool" or focus during the exams? I'm really frustrated because I was knocking on the door of a 700 and now I'm starting to see my scores plummet.
Any advice, help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm very confident in my ability to score a 700 but not so much in my ability to keep the cool during test day and get the answers I KNOW I can get right, actually right.
