Hey all,
Exam Date: Feb 4th (Currently I am bundle of nervousness and excitement)
Previous Exam Scores: I took 3 tests this past weekend to figure out my finals preparation
GMAT prep 1: 660 (45Q/35V)
Manhattan GMAT CAT 6 : 660 (44Q/36V)
GMAT prep 2: 700 (48Q/37V)
Preparation:
Manhattan GMAT Prep 9 week course
CR Bible (Only read the first 2 chapters)
Manhattan GMAT Advanced Quant (Going through it now)
Target: 700... anything above is gravy. (I am being real about this though. The fact that I have scored a 700 during only 1 of my practice exams shows that I am not at that level yet. There are too many variables that can go wrong and therefore I am going with the attitude that I will take it again. I already have a gameplan for the retake in the sense of going through the
Advanced quant many times and SC going through the SC grails which I did not do the first time because I was focused on the
Manhattan GMAT learning experience)
Problems :
Advanced Quant, Sentence Correct, and Timing.
How to attack problems:
Advanced Q: Bought the kindle edition of the Advanced book of Manhattan. Shooting for getting through about 80% by Thursday and locking it in.
SC: Approach is attacking them as quant and so if I know the rule, I can solve it.
Timing: Saving time at the end. I noticed that towards the end I was getting a whole bunch of questions wrong because of fatigue, time, and difficultly specially in Q. Therefore I plan to start fast in Q, and save some time for the last 8 so it would end up being I would have 18 minutes for the last 8 instead of only 16.
