I do not study 1 week, no warm-up problems
Previous test, you made some warm-up? What is important of the warm-up? and how do you make it?
Finally, can you share the mistake you took here?
Yes, I made warm-up before the previous tests. I feel more confident if I study very hard last week before exam (test), do not study last day and make 20-30 problems before go to sleep on last evening. Warm-up is good thing to tune up me and be ready for the morning.
My verbal mistakes,
- silly ones because of lost of concentration
- lack of vocabulary. This lead to lack of understanding, and hurt me mainly in RC.
- my insufficient knowledge of grammar in SC.

Its incredible how you keep peeling of 51 after 51. I want to get to that level from my current level of 48/49. Any tips walker ?
I talked about my experience in this and others threads:
1. silly mistakes: read slowly, 2-3 times, reread problems just before picking an answer, understand where GMAT want to trick.
2. hard problems. chose the hardest and common problem, spend even a few hours to find as many different ways to solve it as possible, and refresh background.
3. 10-20 problems are the most important!
4. do not spend more than 3 minutes for a question.
5. DS often is the best way to speed up pace. Learn to recognize DS-pattern along with typical traps.
