Hi,
I'm taking the test in exactly 2 weeks from now, and have just completed my first-time study of the entire syllabus (Quant, SC, CR and RC (in this order)). What should be my last fortnight strategy before taking the exam?
I know it's a really short period, but I'm off from work and can devote 100+ hours in the given time period.
Any suggestions on what to do in these final days would be extremely helpful to me and I'll very much appreciate the help.
Also, I have absolutely no clue (yet) on what to do on the IR and the AWA section - so please consider that as well while formulating your suggestion(s).
I'm targetting a score of 700 or higher.
Thanking you, in anticipation of your response,
Best,
Rishabh

Hi RJ7X0DefiningMyX,
To start, while it might be tempting to try to 'cram' in a lot of study time over these last 2 weeks, 'cramming' rarely leads to great results on Exams such as the GMAT. In addition, if you're going to study 8+ hours a day during this stretch, then you'll greatly increase your chances of 'burning out' before Test Day (which is something that we want to avoid). As such, I suggest that for every 2 hours of study that you do, you take one hour "off" (re: study for 2 hours, take 1 hour off, study for another 2 hours, take 1 hour off, etc. - the exception will be when you take your CATs, since those should each be done in a continuous 3.5 hour block).
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:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Thank you for replying, Rich. Below are the answers to your questions:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? - Little more than 2 months
2) What study materials have you used so far? - Relied upon e-GMAT primarily + OG 2018 Edition
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)? - Haven't written a full mock yet since I completed my syllabus yesterday itself. However, have written 10 GMAT Club Quant tests, the scores of which are as follows:
Q47 (June 15), Q48 (June 16), Q49 (June 21), Q47 (June 24), Q50 (June 30)
Q50 (July 3), Q45 (July 6), Q50 (July 7), Q50 (July 14), Q40 (July 17) (The one I gave today was TERRIBLE and DEVASTATING)
Goals:
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School? - Have to start my applications this season (right after my test), since I'm planning to apply for Fall 2020 intake
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to? - Saïd Business School, Cambridge Judge Business School, Rotman School of Management, Mannheim Business School, Rotterdam School of Management (Erasmus)
I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
