Hi Fakesherlock,
Since you are so close to your Test Date, you should NOT be studying too strenuously. As far as how you might currently be performing right now, it's likely that there are certain aspects of the GMAT that you handle consistently well - so you might think about why that happens in those areas and what you might do to incorporate that mindset into how you handle other parts of the Test.
There are some additional factors in your favor. Each Test-taker is currently allowed to take the Official GMAT up to 8 TIMES - meaning that if you have a 'bad day' when you take the Official GMAT, then while that would not be something to be happy about, it would NOT be the 'end of the world' either. You can always take the Test again. In addition, the GMAT is a remarkably consistent and predictable Exam - so if you're not happy with your Official Score, then we can analyze your past studies and score results and come up with a new plan.
In these last few days, you should limit your studies to general practice and light review (NO CATs and NO 'cramming') - you would be better served by getting some extra rest so that you can go into Test Day calm, clear-headed and ready to work. Once you have your Score, you should post back here (or you can feel free to PM me directly) and we can discuss the results.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
