hi all im new to the forum here,
ive been preparing for the GMAT for around 2 months now , the last month i was on vacation so i concetrated much more.
I never took the GMAT before. on my practice tests i had good scores in Q:
Princton Q 40 , GMATPREP 46 and POWERPREP 39
however in verbal i was scoring 28 to 34 in 800score tests. and was so confident cuz all what i need on the real thing is 550 score. then suddenly when i took the Powerprep Exams i scored 17 , 18 !!!!!!
(
i used out the GMATprep exams i dont think i can practice them again i already know the answers. i NEED
at least 30 in VERBAL
i studied math from OG 11 and Q review solved all the 700 questions. plus all questions in Princton review.
i studied verbal from Princton , solved all Questions other than RC. cuz i think that i dont want to watse time on RC here. i will depend on my fast reading on the EXAM. and for SC and CR i solved more than 75% of princton Questions correct.
i also bought MANHATTAN SC prep. its nice but i didnt practice all the OG 11 questions yet.
can some one advice me what to do in my last 48 hours to the EXAM ?
assume that postponing the GMAT is out of the question.
i only have the following for Verbal : flash cards from beat the gmat.
OG 11. Princton Reviews and Manhattan SC.
EXAM time :
27th June 1 PM.
thanks all
plz reply to me ASAP am waiting here.

In two days you can't change the world. But the best you can do is - stay focussed (no negative thoughts) and remind yourself not to panic during the exam.
From my firsthand experience with taking this exam twice, I think the key is to stay positive even when you think/feel you are not doing well. Believe me, during the exam if you think you are messing it up, you'll be most often wrong (it will be actually better that you think, but ofcourse you can't see it). If there is any mess up, it will be due to these thoughts.
Take it question at a time. You've had good practice. Be confident and you'll do well. Good Luck.

Thanks for the reply.
well.. you are right i think i need a positive attitude ( not to take the results to seriosly and not to panic )
one thing good about me is that i can absorb alot of practice quesitons daily , it happened with math , that is usually tougher to do than verbal.
so i was planning to do the following in the next 48 hours :
since i only need to score 550+ on GMAT , ill try to target Q(35-40) , V(25-30).
Sunday : Solve all SC questions on OG 11 in hand with Manhattan SC. and mark all the wrongs. then do 20 CR also from OG 11.
Monday : Review all SC wrongs. do 50 CR from OG 11.
Tuesday ( 2 hours before tha exam and after breakfast ) :
do 5 already chosen Quantitive problems. and spend 15 min going throu the flash cards i have for final refreshements.
i thought that since i was scoring 28,29,32,34 on Verbal from 800score. and around 25 on GMATprep. there must be a problem happened when i scored 17, 18 on Verbal in PowerPreps !!! maybe i wasnt takeing it seriosly. i got so frustraited at that time.
any one has another advice on my PLAN ? plz reply ASAP. its 2:30 am now and i will sleep to wake up at 11 am. i will check the replies when i wake up in case someone posted a better plan for me.
what are my chances to get the 550 with that ? anyone !
wish me all the luck and ill be waitng for more of ur experience.
