Hi!
As the subject already says, just two days to the exam, so that I can't really learn much more.
I did the GMAT already 2 year ago and had a score of 620 on a day where I wasn't able to concentrate.
Now, I prepared quite long time. My problem however was that I probably had the wrong preparation strategy. I started with practicing tons of Q's and CAT and only after I saw, that I don't improve that much, I worked through all MGMAT guides.
Since then I only had limited practice.
Before I worked through the Manhattan stuff, I had scores around 640-660. 2 days ago, I did the GMATPrep and scored 720. And yesterday everything started to blow up! I did the GMATFoucs and scored only 36-44. I have NEVER scored that low. This was due to my lack of concentration as I didn'T sleep scine 30+ hours. So today I did the second GMATFocus and only scored 45-49... (my aim is ~720 with Q49+ and V37).
Now I just finished my second GMATPrep with 620!!!! this was partly due to stupid mistakes and to really bad time management. But I didn't had the feeling, that I was doing that bad. I think especially the time management for the verbal section will continue to be a problem.
But I think, that in general, I am able to score 700+, but only with perfect concentration and time management (and maybe some luck)
I actually need to do the GMAT on Friday due to an application deadline. But I'm not sure what to do because a GMAT below 700 would worthless and I don't know if it is good to have a second 600er score on my report! Otherwise, I Would relax and give it a try".
Right now I'm feeling like I try another MGMAT Test tomorrow morning and then decide what to do....
Will the report also show, that i canceled one appointment?
I am sooo devastated by the last 2 days!!! I really don't know what to do!! Any opinions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

well some people here might tell you gmatprep is probably the most accurate score estimator since it is from the company. if you cancel you wont get refunded but i doubt it is a strike against you since you didnt take it then not report it. I would probably just take it and if i feel really bad i can cancel it...

In GMAT panic efficiency doesn't yield results and it does more harm, so relax and focus on what you've done so far revise the concepts and take the real test. Dont burn out with another practice test.
As shaselai mentioned give your best shot and in case you do not end up doing well you can always decline your score. Although it would counted as an attempt, with scores not reported, it's better than losing out on 250$ altogether. Just regain your confidence level and you never know you may just crack the 700 barrier on the test day
Good Luck

this is especially bad since the programme I'm applying to is suggesting to have a Q score in the 90% and I "only" scored 87%.... Does it make any sense to file a complaint?
