Hi didieravoaka,

Based on your prior posts, you absolutely have the skills to score 450 (or higher) when you take the GMAT. You have to remember that the GMAT will give you the score that you EARN, so you have to be ready to work for the full 4 hours on Test Day. If you look at any of your CATS, how many questions did you get wrong because of a silly/little mistake? THOSE are the little errors that you have to keep from happening, so make sure that you're taking the proper notes and doing the work on the PAD. You can dump any (and all) questions that you think are too hard, but you have to correctly answer the 'gettable' questions. If you do that, then you'll earn the score that you're looking for.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Thanks Rich!

I will make sure to answer correctly the "gettable" questions. When I take a look at my CATS I can see that I did a lot of mistakes on those easy questions
