Don't sweat the Kaplan score. They're notorious for being harder than the real thing. Did you take Powerprep or Princeton Review tests? They're much closer to the real thing, esp. for verbal. Take one of those and I'm sure you'll see better results! Don't let Kaplan freak you out.

hy ash...

I guess U are just a bit tensed and that is naturally so... from what I have seen by ur verbal ''work-out'' here at the club U sure are good and steady... I guess U have to think about those times when U were better at scoring and also get back to ur usual self...

U just have to make UR self BELIEVE THAT U CAN DO IT... i KNOW U CAN AND u KNOW U CERATINLY CAN ... AND JUST FORGET ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY IN THE WHORLD...nand just go for it ...

U better 'see' the 700+ in ur head day and night and keep positive ... U will do very well...

I guess U are motivated by now and JUST in case U feel u need some more of this ''potion' let me know... I m always there to motivate ....


U take care and good wishes with U

:-D and yeah keep SMILING that helps!

Ashish,
Do not be discouraged by Kaplan scores...they are notorious for coming up with scores way below your actual scoring capability in the real exam.
As BB suggested ..go for some PP tests or for that matter even PR tests are good.

Chill ...if you have a error log ..go over it.
Go over the questions which you got wrong while doing OG.
Go over the math forumale's at the end of the Kaplan book.
Prepare your AWA templates.

Trust your instincts and you will be fine.

Vivek.

If you have not taken the test yet, you may give this a try.

Go to a closeby Bornes & Noble and spend couple of hours on reading inspirational books like "Awaken the Giant Within" by Anthony Robbins. I donot follow what these books say, but I read few pages whenever I need some inspiration. Words like "You can conquer the world" gives me a kick and I get charged-up.

In fact,this is what I am intending to do on the day before my test.

One can not afford to go to test in low spirits.

Good luck.
