It's around the corner ; the day has finally come. I'm going to be writing my first ever GMAT in less than 48 hours and I can feel my heart in my mouth every minute. One minute I feel like I'm as prepared as I could be and the next I came across a question that makes me question if I even know how to do basic math. I've never really felt this way about any exam but this one seems to be getting to me. Part of me wants to just get it over with, part of me wishes for some more time but I guess that feeling will never stop.
I'll happily settle for a 700-710, but the goal is obviously higher. I've given my fair share of mocks (Kaplan, Official etc) but somehow I just feel like there's so much I don't know, and that's exactly what I'll be asked. Maybe I'm being paranoid for no reason by fearing the worst, and I'm as prepared as I could be, but there's no dearth of experiences shared by people in which the exam completely rattled them and it went exactly the way it wasn't supposed to.
Not much can be done now I guess, but I doubt this feeling will go away until I'm in front of the screen on test day. I've come to this forum to draw some positive inspiration today - reading transformational success stories. On that note, I would highly appreciate if anyone could impart some wisdom on some do's and dont's to keep in mind before and during test day - last minute prep, strategy, pacing etc.
Thank you to all on the forum and with all due respect, I hope I don't have to be back on it unless it's for admissions.

All the best with your exam. One suggestion, if you are giving it Online, would be to take some precautions: reminding people you may live with not to enter, etc.
