Hello,
My test is on the 27th of this month, i.e. in a week. I haven't really had any time to study for the test, because I have been working too much and I am almost never home and free. I just have time to do practice tests and that is all.
Without any preparation, I took CAT1 (12 Dec) and I scored a 710 (Q50, V36), then I reviewed the problems and made a list of the topics that I had most wrong answers. I made a little review on that at work (Don't let my manager hear lol) and then After working 13 hours, I took CAT2 (16 Dec) at 11.30pm and I scored a 660 (Q49, V32), but when I reviewed the questions as always, I noticed that it was mostly because of concentration problems. I still went ahead and made a list of the topics that I need to study.
Then finally the weekend came and yesterday (18 Dec), I took the CAT3 in the morning after a decent breakfast and I scored a 750 (Q51,V41). And again reviewed the questions and topics, and today (19 Dec) I wanted to try a different practice test, so that I don't get used to the question types of Manhattan, and I made a little research to see in which test most people score lower than real Gmat. Kaplan was the answer.
Then today I took Kaplan's free test and I scored a 700 (Q47, 40). Funnily Kaplan way easier than Manhattan. I finished the whole Quant in 32 minutes and I had only one wrong answer. Yet I scored 47 in Quant. Verbal part of Kaplan is also easier than MGMAT.
So a week left to the exam and I am working weekdays from 9 to 6, sometimes 9am to 9pm. I only have a few hours at night and the next weekend. I am planning to take GMATPrep tests next weekend on Sat and on Sun.
I still have 3 more MGMATs that I can take and 2 GMATPreps. I don't know if I will have time to finish them all. What would you suggest me to do? And could you tell me the hardest test I can take (not lowest score, hardest questions)?
PS: I studied Math in English and I scored 103 in TOEFL. My Math and grammar knowledge are good, I think I just need to get used to the question types of GMAT to score 700+, but I might be completely wrong.
PS2: Don't tell memy grammar sucks, based on this post, because I am writing this at 1 am and I am not paying so much attention lol
Thank you very much.
