I took a practice test and got a 640. I'm taking the GMAT this Wednesday at noon. All I need is to get above a 600 and I'm good. I've gone through most of the first chapter of Manhattan book. With this time constraint of about 8 hours, what's the best "review-like" stuff I could go through?

I'd suggest taking a look at the common errors you're making and review the fundamentals/concepts behind them.

If you only need a 600, and you've been scoring 640ish, you are in good shape. I would just stay relaxed, not work too hard, and continue to stay warm. At this point, you don't want to burn your brain out. You pretty much know everything you need to know at this point, so don't stress yourself out. Good luck! Let us know how it turns out

Yeah you definitely don't want to do anything that'll have an adverse effect on you. You know your goal, you know your beating your target number, so no sense in working yourself to exhaustion or needlessly panicing in a manner that would hurt your score
