720 in 5 days

by randomguy12323 » Thu Aug 21, 2008 3:49 pm
Had nothing to do all week. Looked up all the tests I would need to take for grad school. Found out about the GMAT. Got a Kaplan 2009 book from the library. Read through 3/4 of book and did a Kaplan online practice test. Did GMAT prep the 2 days prior to test. Got in there, got a 720.

I was down to the last second on the last math problem and I clicked on a response but didn't submit, I have no idea if it was accepted or not or if that would have even mattered.

Advice: don't overstudy. but have enough practice so that you can feel confident when you walk in there. Also, eat a chocolate chip cookie before the test!
