5 more days...suggestions for "cramming"? [#permalink] New post   05 Apr 2010, 06:46
5 days till saturday for my 2nd attempt! I have taken pretty much all the CATs i have now and am focusing more on topics refreshers. I recently took the CR from the OG verbal book and got 4/82 wrong which is nice especially many of the questions were so long ago (~5months) i couldn't "cheat" and recall the answers. RC i am kinda skipping since it is more passage specific... I am thinking of focusing more of my time on SC and Math now. I have been getting 47-48s on math CATs now so should i study less on math and more on the types of questions wrong or just go over everything to be sure? Any last minute prep suggestions? I really want my 2nd one to be great so i dont have to go through this again! My verbal has been mid 30s on CATs and i know i have improved since my 28 from the official exam but i am not sure if that can get me to the magical number though..

Congratulations on the big day coming up :wink:
Usually this is the time to review your error log and go through questions you have missed in the past. If you have anything marked or printed out - do that.

Another suggestion is to go through the areas that need the most attention and re-read the chapters on CR/SC/etc (or whatever is the weakest).

Finally, take a test the day before.

yeah i will check the logs and go back to some questions. I also came across the 1000 SC site from somebody mentioning it here so have been working on that as well. Math i cant pinpoint 100% because i get some of those "weird" questions wrong - like the one where they ask how many squares you can make in a coordinate system...
