So, I have three, full-length official GMATs to take (there are 2 free ones, plus 2 you can buy) and four Sundays until my GMAT (which is on Monday, the 27th). Is it harmful to take a full practice CAT the DAY BEFORE the real thing?
I have two options:
1) Get additional study in this Sunday, then take the three CATs each subsequent Sunday. That means my last practice would be the 26th and then I'd take the GMAT on the 27th.
2) Take the three practices starting this Sunday, leaving the day before the GMAT as a "day off."
The advantage of (1) is that I'd get more studying in. What have other people experienced? Should you take the day off before your GMAT or is it okay to do one last practice?

Hi jz4analytics,
Taking a CAT the day before your GMAT is NOT a good idea. You're far more likely to 'burn out' a bit than actually benefit from taking that last CAT. You'd be better served taking it easy on that last weekend - maybe a bit of light review, but not much else. Going in to Test Day well-rested and calm will help you far more than trying to cram in one more CAT.

A follow-up question... is it better to study more or take more CATs? Would it be more beneficial to study for 4 hours and take 2 CATs or take 3 CATs without the extra studying?
