Some Advices Need For Test Day [#permalink] New post   16 Jun 2018, 15:15
Folks,

I'm a senior college student and I'd be taking a test a week from now (pursuing PhD pathway...).

I've only studied GMAT for a month, but I do believe that I studied intensively enough to get at least 650 on the exam...I need and want a 700+ score though - it would be near impossible but I cannot withdraw now. In for a penny, in for a pound...Pretty much all or nothing.

I've read some initial/basic rules and things regarding the test, but is there anything I have to be mindful of?

To be honest, I'm a little bit stressed out, and afraid with my imaginary scenario, where I would walk out with a score of less than 600...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for helping me and have a good day.

Hi,

If the test is in a week then you need not to go for any more practice tests. Feel fresh and sleep adequate. Revise your concepts and attempt few questions daily. Take care of your eyes. You must be able to look at the screen for at least 3 hours. Don't know how much practice tests you have attempted, but if your eyes are not trained to stare at the screen for few minutes continuously , it would be difficult for you to concentrate in Verbal. Make sure you stay healthy, also do some cardio workout.

Hi KaiNguyen

Welcome to GMATClub.

If you have not taken the GMATPrep tests(available on mba.com), you should try and
take a test. These tests are from the makers of the GMAT and are pretty accurate in
helping you understand where you stand with regards to your preparation.

Hope this helps you!

Hi KaiNguyen,

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) What study materials have you used so far?
2) How have you scored on each of your practice CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?
3) What is your exact Test Date?
4) What are the application deadline(s) for the Program(s) that you plan to apply to?
