Really wanted to Beat The GMAT- the day after tomorrow

[smishrajec]

Day after tomorrow, I'll be appearing for GMAT exam.
I have been preparing approximately 16 hours a week, for last 3 months.
Took a few test starting from GMAT's prep test92 in nos.), Kaplan(2 in nos), Princeton Review (1 in no.).
In the last week, I took GMAT-Practice test 2 again- scored 570.
Today and tomorrow will go through all the content, which I have studied and practised.
Still, its looking that I'm lagging somewhere. Even, revising the whole content is a major challenge.
Hope is diminishing slowly.

Need your suggestions, if any, which can help me in this situation.

Hi,
Once you are done with your preparation, it is all about mental preparation. Do not read too much on the day before test. Go with a positive mindset and always stay focused during the test. Hope should never die.
Good luck and beat the GMAT!

Thank you . Yeah, I have to manage anyhow my test tomorrow.

Take it slow. 16 hours a day is too much. Don't read anything now. Just take it easy. Things will fall into place in the exam. Don't be emotional in the exam. Finish all questions in each section.

Just do two three moderate problems before going into the test centre - that should warm you up and may increase your confidence too.

All the best. do let us know the score

Thanks a lot for your suggestion and support. I'll try to deliver my test.
Yeah, I'm trying some moderate problems. Revising the whole content.

Sure, will post my experience tomorrow.

But, its really frightening today...

I'm sorry. I noticed my mistake now. It gives my incorrect preparation level.

Took the GMAT.
Quant-35

Total-410
Lost the game!!!

That's sad. Don't be hard on yourself. take a day off and think about the mistakes you have done. write it somewhere and use it as a reference. evaluate it and see what can be done to avoid these mistakes. I don't believe this is your true ability. sometimes when you want todo well in something desperately, it creates unnecessary pressure. GMAT is a pshycometric test. It is designed to throw you off balance. We are supposed to leave the emotions at the door before takung the exam.

At the end of the day, like you said, it's just a game. treat it like a game and you WILL succeed.

You lost a game....but not a set!

Quant 35 is not a bad score after all... Read as much as you can standard English pubblications such as the Economist and you will improve your verbal!
Remember that the GMAT is also about stress management, don't overstudy and fix the date of your next attempt only when you feel confident. Remember that positive feelings pull positive results


Good luck

[smishrajec]

Thanks a lot for your support.
Now, I'm planning to appear in Entrance examination of Indian B schools scheduled in November-December. Better for me to concentrate there.
So, for sometime, I'm going away from GMAT.
Really, I enjoyed a lot while preparation.
Thank you again.

How can I move away......Once I've started the prep....How is it possible to move my steps back.....It is really impossible to leave GMAT without reaching your expectation. Infact, it looks as if I left something incomplete.
As an MBA aspirant, I should not do so.Last time I took prep but I was not matured by then, when I took GMAT. This is what I realized in past few months.
I'll do...And I'll compete this time.....I'll score more this time...
Thanks to the updates sent to me from beatthegmat.com...
