Hi there, any advice is appreciated on my two questions:
1. I am planning to take 4 more CATs until my exam (July 14). Would my time be better served reviewing by other means?
2. MGMAT Exams 5 & 6 - or - GMATPrep Exams 5 & 6 (EP2)? I ask because there is a large discrepancy between my performance on GMATPrep and MGMAT CATs
Context:
- Sitting for GMAT on July 14
- Did 6 CATs already (reviewed MGMAT material between exams) - details below
- Leaning towards taking GMATPrep 3 & 4 and MGMAT 5 & 6 but wondering if I should take GMATPrep 5 & 6 instead of MGMAT
- Time pressure has been an issue so far (both in end-of-exam crunch, and mid-exam panic when realizing I am behind pace)
April 16: MGMAT CAT 1 (670 – 43/38) - took as a diagnostic; every question felt like a guessing game
June 4: MGMAT CAT 2 (690 – 39/45) - poor time management on Q (left 7 unanswered)
June 11: MGMAT CAT 3 (680 – 46/37) - poor time management on V (left 4 unanswered)
June 18: GMATPrep CAT 1 (760 – 49/45) - was surprised at how much easier I found GMATPrep to be
June 24: MGMAT CAT 4 (730 – 46/44) - cheated a few extra minutes on both Q and V
June 25: GMATPrep CAT 2 (760 – 51/42) - poor time management on V (rushed last 4 questions; 2 incorrect)
Also, any advice on staying positive mid-exam? Many of my CATs have a row of mistakes in the middle when I notice I'm behind on time.
Thanks in advance!

Your mock tests score looked pretty good so whatever you are doing, keep it up. In terms of how to stay positive throughout the test, every time I pick an answer, I will tell myself "this is my best answer", I will then move on to the next question without thinking about the previous question. Regardless of whether the answer I picked is correct, it is the best choice that I came up with. Hopefully you have put in the time studying the exam so on the date of the exam, you can tell yourself, "I trust my prep."
