If you are so pressed for time that you want to take the test despite not feeling prepared, you will need to prepare yourself for surprises.

If you cannot postpone, I suggest some variation of the following:

- Make official guides your best friends. Drill every question.

- Brush up on key subject areas in quant, e.g., arithmetic, number properties, geometry algebra, some statistics and probabilities (latter less frequent).

Do the same for verbal. Go through OGs and drill the theory behind sentence correction, critical reasoning and reading comprehension.

- You won't have time to check every topic, so you can aim to maximize results in selected common topic areas.

- On test, aim to correctly answer every easy or medium easy-looking question and try your best with the harder ones.

-Don't let third-party Mick tests get you down. Use them only to aid your preparation. Scores are not that important at this stage.

You may not get 740, but you can aim for 700s.

Best strategy is to take the test when you are fully ready, if you can. GL!

Hi hovikal ,
Thanks alot for the instructions .
But if i cant reach my target score i will have to write the exam anyway .
So its better that i be fully prepared first and then take an attempt. Even if i dont acheive i’ll know i tried my best . ?
