I retook one of the offical GMAT tests I downloaded. Got a 680, which is 140 points above what I got a couple months ago when I started.


I figure I'll retake the other, and pretend to do the essays this time to properly simulate everything. Any other suggestions?

Yes. Relax. There is not much you can do from now until test time to improve your likelihood of scoring higher, except to relax.

BTW the only time the testing center could schedule me for was 8:00. is there any chance I can call them up and try to convince them to let me come in later? Has anyone ever been able to do that?

You can usually do earlier, but I've never heard of later. But it's quite possible. The time of test is not as strictly enforced as the security involved with it.

Just create an outline and flesh it out. Nothing more to it. Don't bother wasting any thought on it.

cool thx, I got a 690 on the practice test today, so I hope tomorrow I can break the 700 barrier. Im sure I can. Anyone know the relative difficulty of the 2 practice tests to the real thing? I'm guessing its pretty even?

Fairly even. You'll see some people score slightly better (money test takers) and some people score slightly worse (got nervous). But in the end, it's the most accurate indicator.
