Hey Guys,
It's 11 days to the GMAT. I posted a while back that I was performing fairly well on diagnostics. After my 3 initial scores (720, 740 kaplan, 750 gmatprep), I took a break. A week or so ago I took 2 more tests - might have been hungover (670 (50th percentile math!) kaplan 670 mgmat). I felt completely out of wack, so I got scared, buckled down, refocused, and studied for the past few days, recently took 2 more tests (730 mgmat, 760 gmatprep 1 again, with some repeat questions).
1st, does anyone have any read on these scores? My goal is 760+, but don't know how to interpret these scores. I saw a significantly drop in my ability to do math (I think I'm getting in my own head and now running out of time). For example, I missed 12/37 math problems on my way to a 48 math/760 on the gmatprep recently.
My CR and RC are good enough when I concentrate, but on all of the more recent tests I missed 50%+ sentence corrections.
I have 4 resources for study Princeton Review (skimmed most of it), MGMAT Sentence Correction (skimmed), OG 10, and OG 12.
Can people critique my last 1.5 week study strategy?
Take practice test at least every other day: 4 MGMAT, 1 Kaplan, GMAT Prep 2 (and gmatprep from 2005 if that's different).
Do only hard questions from OG 10 (basically through SC, 2/2 through PS/DS)
Do MGMAT SC with OG 12 all the way through
Do every other problem in OG 12.
---This entails at least 6 hours a day, (1 practice test + 60 questions or 100-150 problems with no test)
Another Question: what does "hard" mean in the OG categorization? I find them much easier than what I encounter in practice tests and am missing them at much lesser pace. I'm missing less than 10% of sentence correction after some study and roughly 12% of questions on ps/ds (virtually perfect on RC and CR). These are significantly lower numbers than I've been missing OVERALL on tests, and I'm only tackling "hard" problems. Does "hard" encompass the 700+ level questions?
Sorry for the long post - just curious if people have feedback on any portion of my GMAT prep:
-Score predictions
-Study Plan
-Question quantities
-Expectations based on OG questions
-Should I take gmat prep 2005 versions?
anything else
Thanks!!

You asked for all around advice....once you finish studying the night before...that's it. Don't stress yourself out trying to remember last minute formulas. You've put a lot of effort in to it. Trust the work you've done. Staying calm is worth it. Also, I dressed up to go take the test. That always puts me in the right frame of mind for taking the test.

Give more time on revision of what you have learnt do far and don't try to pick up new topic now. Revision and practice are keys to success.
