Desperate n looking for a quick fix - taking GMAT in 33 hrs 20 Sep 2004, 10:26

If anyone is reading this right now, please give your suggestions and opinion, every bit will help.

Unfortunately I just found this web site, I should have made this my mantra long time ago.. :oops:

I am taking the GMAT in 35 hours and I am getting more and more disheartened every time I take thediagnostic tests. I've taken 4 Kaplan and PR trials over the past three days and my score keeps dropping - I started at 590 for my 1st test in PR down to 520 for my last test in Kaplan. I am feeling disheartened and extremely discouraged, not to mention stupid... :cry:

Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do for this last 35 hours? Should I stop taking tests and just go thru my mistakes? Should I look for the online questions posted in forum and try to memorise them?

Any feedback, suggestions, comments, please. Thanks a million.

Hi and welcome karovd. First, it will be difficult for any of us to give you any advice without knowing how you prepared or how much time you put into the GMAT. 35 hours is not much time left and I would say that PR tests could be pretty representative of your actual test score. To Kaplan scores, you should add about 50-100 points as their tests are usually tougher. Also, depending on how much you are aiming for, only you would know whether you should reschedule the test or not. For the next 35 hours, all there is left for you to do is relax and have a soothing cup of tea and some sleep for that matter. No matter how good you are with answering questions and with only that much time before the test, you should have a totally rested mind :sleeping:
Good luck

Agreed....how long have you been prepping? I definitely would not cram for the GMAT. You'll stress yourself out and not give yourself enough time to learn from mistakes. Have you also been doing practice questions in the OG?

Your PR scores will be more accurate than your Kaplan ones, but if you haven't been studying long I would recommend postponing your test so you can get more comfortable with the material. I tried the cramming thing for my first test and it didn't work very well.
