Hey everyone. It's almost time for me to take the test. I have it scheduled it for the 18th. So far my score's been improving in the MGMAT CATs and the first GMATPrep Cat was a 690 (Q48, V37). What I'd like to know is what do you guys recommend that I do for the next one week? I would obviously like to improve as much as possible but I am also realistic with my expectations. I have a general plan to review my error log and go through the weak spots. But any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I would particularly like to improve my verbal scores (idiom SCs really hurt me).
Thanks and good luck to all the rest of you who are attempting this soon!

Dear mehsaad,
I'm happy to help! :-)

Here's a free idiom ebook you may find helpful:
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2013/gmat-idiom-ebook/
If you search that free blog, you will find a few articles after the ebook that explore other idioms.

Here are a few articles that might helpful you with attention, focus, and exam mindset:

I hope all this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any GMAT idiom questions.

Mike :-)
