Just been reviewing NO Practice Tests

[fo0lzo]

Okay i know you guys are going to be MAD at me but i have not taken any practice tests at all. I have been studying on and off with the OG 11 for about 5 months. I go to college full time and when i have so much stuff to do my GMAT books go into a corner and collect dust. Then i have to start all over again! I'm kinda scared to take the practice tests b/c i might do so terrible on it. Reading is my biggest issue so inturn CR and Reading are my weakness but i have not practiced on those areas except for CR. CR is still difficult for me b/c when i read it i have to reread it again. Is like i have ADD i can't concentrate.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

JP
ps ----where can i get more practice test i already have gmat prep?

At least you know that you really should have taken a test by now.

Don't do anything else until you take a practice test. You've been studying for 5 months - how do you even know what to study if you haven't taken a test? You need the data from the tests to set up an effective study plan - don't just study everything randomly. (Your score doesn't matter - after all, you're not ready to take the real thing right now! What matters is determining your strengths and weaknesses.)

You can take one of our tests for free (www.manhattangmat.com) and I don't know this for sure but I would bet the other major test prep companies also will let you take one test for free. Poke around this site for suggestions about the tests people have liked. Then make yourself sit down and take one.

There's big difference between preparing using PC (CAT) and preparing with books.

Since you cannot take the test in paper and pencil format you got to get used to CAT format!
It's a step change and early you shift your gear better will be for you to adopt for the real test!

As Stacey said, it's good that at least you realised whats recommended.
