Hi Guys,
I'm scheduled in to take the GMAT in 5 days but I scored a GMATPrep 630 on my last exam. My other scores were 720 and 710, with my target score set at 750.
My main concern is in verbal timing and accuracy. Specificallly with CR.
In order to improve on this, I take practice verbal sets of 30 - 40 questions, which is combined with SC and RC. I have even done so after long quant sets to improve on my test stamina. For the most part, I can finish within time constraints but when I take the practice exams, I completely go blank and find myself staring off into space.
What are some ways I can overcome these issues? Also, I was wondering if the verbal section has a specific question structure?
(For example, the majority of CR questions in the beginning of the test and SC in the end)
Honestly, I would hate to reschedule and pay the extra $300 or so dollars but it seems to be the best option. If I take the exam and am unsatisfied, do admissions take into account a cancellation or multiple cancellations?
Thanks for the advice.
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
Since you're so close to your Official Test Date, you should NOT attempt to do too much work, nor try to radically change your approach to this process. For these last few days, you should keep the work "light" and not do too much (NO CATS, NO cramming, etc.).
Have you had a chance to review this CAT? How many questions did you get wrong because of silly/little mistakes? Given your prior scores, I'll bet that you find plenty of questions that you SHOULD have gotten correct.
Most questions are Test Day are straight-forward enough, but you have to do the necessary work to get to the correct answer. That means taking notes, labeling your work, staying organized, NOT trying to do work in your head, NOT trying to do 5 things at once and staying calm throughout.
The Verbal section is randomized in the same way that the Quant section is. As a general rule, you're likely to see an RC passage every 10 questions or so, but sometimes they're more or less 'spread out' and the SC and CR prompts tend to come in 'bunches'.
Business Schools don't care if you take the GMAT more than once, so that's not something you need to worry about. Try to go into Test Day well-rested. During the Test, demand excellence of yourself - think about what you need to do to get a question correct (this usually means 'take notes') and then do it.
