Hey guys,
It's only my second post here, but I've been following this forum since I've started with my GMAT prep in mid-January...
Long story short:
My test is on Monday. Weakness has always been Quant, where I believe I was able to improve over the last 5 weeks, with my strength always being in Verbal.
I took the first GMATPrep CAT 11 days ago and scored 680 (Q42, V41). Now my goal was to further improve in Verbal in order to get pass that 700-mark.
Took the Kaplan CAT1 today and did well on Quant but totally bombed Verbal with a score of 630 (Q43, V33(!)). Now I'm not going to freak out too much and I guess I am going to do well on Monday if I get back on track with Verbal. Today I was really exhausted after the Quant part and just wanted to get over with Verbal.
Also, I still have one GMATPrep CAT coming up tomorrow.
Still, I'd like to ask you guys for some tips how I should spend the last two days (or, rather, tomorrow with some easy prep on Sunday). Any good advice how to keep concentration up during GMAT and stay motivated?
Cheers,
Alon

Hi alon1818,
The process of taking a FULL-LENGTH CAT and properly reviewing it requires a significant amount of energy and effort. Taking more than 1 CAT per week is generally NOT a good idea, so you should probably NOT take that last CAT (since you're so close to your Official Test Date). In these last couple of days, you should stick to light review and not do anything too strenuous (no cramming, no CATs). You'll be better served by getting some extra rest and going into Test Day with a calm mentality and a readiness to work hard for 4 hours.
