Hi Armaan209,

Are there any major gaps in your prep? If you don't have or aren't aware of any major weaknesses, it may be a good idea not to make any major changes at this point.

All the best.

Thank you for your reply and contribution. I do have some major flaws in DI since I haven't put much attention to it.I shall be practicing it more now.

Cheers!

Sounds good! Try to pull back a bit towards the end so that you're not doing too much in the last 1-2 days.

Hi Armaan209,

With just a week left before GMAT day and being 50 points shy of your target score, it's essential to strike a balance between focused preparation and not overdoing it. At this stage, engaging in topical practice is an excellent way to pinpoint and address any remaining weak areas without overwhelming yourself. Identify specific topics or question types where you consistently lose points and dedicate targeted practice sessions to them. However, avoid exhausting yourself with marathon study sessions; instead, prioritize quality over quantity. Keep your energy and confidence up by balancing study time with proper rest, light exercise, and relaxation. A calm and clear mind on test day will make a significant difference.
