Am I the only one who gets demoralized and demotivated?
I don't feel like studying anymore, sincerely!
I feel like pausing my GMAT prep to have some fun and then come back to it later.
What should I do?

Hi MrJglass,
It's not clear how long you've been studying, but many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores. While you do NOT need to study every day, you have to be careful about how long you 'step away' from your studies (since GMAT skills can 'fade' over time). Before I can offer you any additional advice, 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) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Oh Boy! I wish I could give you more kudos for this post since lots of students preparing on the forum may relate
to your feelings.
To quickly answer your question, YES YES!!
Please do take a break if you feel saturated from your studies.
I earlier wrote a post here about movies inspired from
real life stories that at least motivated me to get through this tough prep. Few other options are:
a. Watching sitcoms (My personal fav is Friends, you may pick yours.)
b. See the debrief of massive jump from 590 to 750 after this student resorted to taking a break from studies. Of course, change in studying habits matter,but
you need to keep your mind afresh and engaged to get best out of this exam.
c. A total different topic to know why engaging in few activities can help you become more happy, an essential ingredient for your success.
May you bring the best of yourself of D-day!

not sure if it is a good time for you to take it, but when i reached this point in my prep, I knew I had to or otherwise, I would lose whatever I learned out of hatred for it.
