Hi all,
I will be taking the GMAT in less than a week (on a Monday) and still have a free GMAT prep test (#2) left. Is it unwise to take a full length practice test on Saturday, two days before my actual exam? Just to consolidate all of my studying and get myself "ready" for the real thing?
On a separate note, in this last week of studying, would you recommend pushing through the last MGMAT quant book (word problems) I have or just buffing up on the areas I've already studied?
Thanks again for all your help, guys!

If you haven't studied a book, I think it would make sense to review that book before the test. Taking the GMATPrep test is up to you- it will be a very accurate representation of how you'll do on the test. That said, taking it two days before the test doesn't give you much time to work on your weaknesses. If you think there's a chance you'll re-take the GMAT, it might make sense to save that GMATPrep test?

Hi Jayy2jayy2,
The process of taking (and reviewing) a CAT requires a significant amount of energy and effort - and takes time to 'recover' from. This is one of the reasons why you typically shouldn't take more than 1 CAT per week. By extension, taking a FULL CAT two days before your Official GMAT is likely NOT a good idea - as you would run the risk of 'burn out' - and that is something that you would want to avoid. In these last week, you should keep your studies light, get in some review and try to get some extra rest. You'll be better served by going into Test Day calm and ready to work.
1) When did you take your last practice CAT? And how did you score (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
