I scored 49Q 45V on gmatprep 2 this wknd.

I retake gmat (from 48Q 39V) on June 7th.

Last few days, I've been unsure what to do. Im just trying to keep fresh and not wear down. I was uncomfortable with triangles, so I reviewed those. I did not do any challenges for a week. I just did the 16th challenge. I had been comparing my results to people who got 50Q on GMAT. Well on this 16th challenge, I scored a 30/37, which says I scored 100th percentile. Others at 50Q, got 26, 25 right on Challenge 16.

Im elated, but perplexed, only Saturday I got 49 Q. Am in that 49-50 range definitely, or just lucky? Do I keep doing challenges, or just review weaknesses?

Basically I have 2.5 more weeks, i just got 100th percentile on 16th challenge, 49 on gmatprep Q Saturday. Not trying to sound boastfull AT ALL. I am completely humble to the GMAT> Just curious on where you think i stand and should do till test?

I would try to find a few of your weaker areas and lightly review those. Also, take some time and take a day off or 2. Let your mind and body relax. You want to enter on test day free of stress & anxiety (easy for me to say and it also being 2 1/2 weeks away for you). Anxiety over the GMAT is not helpful. You're getting great scores. Be confident, know that you konw this stuff! You're going to rock it on June 7th.

I personally believe it is possible to study TOO much for something like this. Now, when you get into B-school, i think it's impossible to study too much then ;)

I would just try to keep things fresh and most importantly KEEP YOUR CONFIDENCE HIGH. Work on other ways to optimize your testing performance. Do practice CATs to work on your pacing. Begin calibrating your schedule to fit the time of your GMAT appointment. Find out how to get to your testing center. Up until now you've done nothing but focus on the content of the GMAT, but there are so many "other" factors that could throw everything into a tailspin. Try and address some of those "other" factors now so they don't throw you a curve ball on test day. That way you'll have nothing to worry about other than taking the GMAT itself.

agree with many of the comments above. I found I was stressing/panicking quite a bit during hte days right before my exam...to fight that, I made sure to allow time each day for a relaxing activity. One day I saw a movie, the next went to dinner with friends, etc. I think finding that time to calm down and relax really helped a lot!

good luck!
