14 days is tight but not impossible - depends on your starting baseline and target score. If you're aiming for 600+, focus on high-yield topics: CR (assumption/weaken), RC (inference/primary purpose), and quant fundamentals (not obscure formulas).
The mistake I made when cramming was thinking "no days off." I burned out by day 7, scored worse on my practice test, panicked, and wasted the last week. What actually worked was building in one "slacker day" every 3-4 days - lighter review, no new content, just consolidate what I'd learned.
Sounds counterintuitive when you have 14 days, but this article breaks down why strategic breaks prevent burnout and actually improve retention. The studies cited are pretty convincing.
It seems i'm already fallinf for these traps ( also what other users warned me about, to study everything. My perfectionism is not helping either. By the way i will definitely take a almost full rest day.
I'm noticing that most of my mistakes in practice questions are either because I do not alteady sedimented the concepts enough, or due to time panick miscalculations.
One question: what would be the major and most needed quant fundamentals ? ( based on most recurring questions). I am currently studying combinations and probabilities but i heard that these make for a low % of all GMAT questions, so maybe I am wasting time.
I do not know if it is worth to focus on verbal since it was my highest score ( 55 percentile), but if there are some quick to learn strategies/resources I can also try to include them in my study...
