Thank you for your response, Rich.
To answer your questions,
When you took your CATs:
1) Did you take them at home?
Yes, I did2) Did you ever do ANYTHING during your CATs that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, listen to music, etc.)?
I tried to simulate the exam environment as much as possible- no breaks, music etc.3) Did you ever take a CAT more than once?
NoOn Test Day:
1) How did you sleep the night before your GMAT?
Not very well but I got about 4.5 hours which is usually sufficient for me 2) How long was the ride to the Test Center from your home?
A little less than 1.5 hours3) Were there any distractions at the facility or during the Test?
Not really. The test centre offered us ear plugs, which helped greatly.4) What did you do during the two 8-minute breaks?
I drank some water and ate a bar of chocolate since my exam was scheduled during lunch time5) Did you finish any sections early?
I was done with the AWA and IR sections (got a score of 7) about a minute before the clock-stop. I finished verbal with about 3.5 minutes to spare6) Did you have to rush to finish any sections (and guess on questions just to finish on time)?
I did find that midway through my quant section, I was running behind time so I may have rushed a little to catch up. Finished this section with 30 seconds to spare.One thing I would like to add is that I did one full length exam a day, for four straight days, just before giving the test. I'm wondering if this could have impacted my ability to perform on the actual test.
Thanks,
Riddhima
