Work with GMATclub mat tests. I have heard it does wonders to your math. And, if I may ask, when is your exam, official one?

Yeah, I have bought those tests and will be working with those. I went back to GMAT prep tests I took, unfortunately I can't access the second one due to software issues. But I think software has a bad visibility, I remember my eyes went blurred during the second test and was struggling to read fonts.

I think I will have to get used to the fonts used by the GMATprep software.

P.S. My exam is on 19th.

I heard that the 2 full length CATS from mba.com are scary accurate... as in your test day score would be within 20-30 points if you took it the next day of taking the practice.

Possibly you had a bad day taking the exam? Dont get discouraged :) you still have some time to get everything in order

I think you are right, I have 4-5 days to go to correct what could ve possibly gone wrong. I will work on the gmatclub tests and few problems from the mba.com itself to get used to the style, fonts etc.

Thanks,

I took both of the mba exams. The first one I took a week before the exam, and I scored a 560 (which is good enough for the school I plan on attending). I took the second practice test the night before the exam and I got a 480! I was beyond shocked!

Some times you just have off days, so I wouldn't worry too much about the practice test. When you're taking the real exam, I feel like you tend to do better because you know that this is the real thing and it counts. Or as I told myself during the exam when I was starting to get tired, "Must finish, I refuse to sit through this 4 hour exam again". I ended up with a 620 on the real test and a 6/6 on the writing, which is way better than I needed lol.

So have faith! And don't panic.
