Hi, I have a test in next 5 days and I recently scored 550 (Q44,V20) in my mock test. I only need to score 640-650 to apply for this college that I have shortlisted. Since I cannot delay my exam date further, what's the best course of action here?

Any help appreciated!

5 days is too short a time to see a huge increase in the score. However a spirited performance on the test day can work wonders.

Try to solve the SC questions in the following fashion

1. Find out the subject and the verb
2. See that the S&V agree in number
3. Look out for the modifiers
4. Look out for parallelism
5. Look out for usage of certain words - such as vs like, few vs less etc.

Try to go back to the questions that you solved incorrectly in the OG. This should help you.
In the end, I would say you to keep your calm, do not think of the final score and do not let your mind wander around.

All the best!
