Hi All,
I have my exam on the 15th. I am very anxious.
my scores are as follows :
kaplan test 1 600
kaplan test 2 620
kaplan test 3 600
powerprep 1 750
powerprep 2 710
gmatprep 1 740
While I am consistently scoring 48-49 in math and I am sure about getting similar scores in actual exam also, I am getting 38-44 in verbal. I am yet to get consistency in verbal. And the bigger problem is I am unable to concentrate on my studies in last few days due to a lot of anxiety.
I have searched a lot of threads on the forum and not many tell about things to do in last few days.
Advice from experts needed.

This variability can really haunt you.
When my scores were inconsistent, I scored in the middle of my high and low score.
Later I consistently scored 680 on all practice tests.
It could also be nothing, simply nerves. Just remember to slow down when reading questions and don't let one question get you down. When your nerves get the best of you when studying, do something to unwind. Go for a walk, have a snack. Do something that's comforting. Don't do something that could stress you out.

You need to relax. You had enough practice and your practice scores look very good.
1) You need to avoid brain fatigue before the exam. Slowly try to relax and do non GMAT related activities.
2) Get plenty of sleep before the exam.
3) Also, trust your guts and don't question yourself during the exam. Many people fail to do this on the exam and end up with a score that doesn't quite reflect his or her true ability.
4) There are few sites that offer GMAT Studycards with tips and etc. Some of them have useful strategy as well. Go over them in the next 5 days.
5) Ending up with sub-700 GMAT score isn't the end of the world. If you don't score your target score now, you can always retake the exam. R1 deadline isn't the holy grail. There's R2. You have to accept this now before the exam. Otherwise, your anxiety isn't going to go away.
6) Don't take too much caffeine before the exam and take all the breaks that they give you.
