My sister tells me the other day that I'm studying too much for this test. Are you serious? Then a coworker tells me, you know you can't really study for standardized test. (this coming from someone whose school didn't require him to take the GMAT).

I understand that its frustrating when they call me and I can't talk or when I always have to decline social gatherings because I'm studying but they should understand how serious this is.

Anyone else have the same problems?

Good luck with the test.
