For many Indian MBA applicants, the default dream has long been a top US MBA. But as career goals, visa considerations, timelines, and global mobility priorities evolve, more candidates are seriously considering MBA programs in Europe.

I need some advice!
Here is my story:
-Studied for the GMAT for two solid months (July and August) and on and off since early September
-Study method: First I used the Kaplan GMAT as my strategy guide/initial prep, and then I used the Official Guide to test my knowledge and prep
-I did my first full-length GMAT practice test and did very poor~500 (I NEED at least 600, more like 620-630)
*I guessed on the final 5 verbal questions
*I think my main problem was endurance, since this was my first time going straight for 3-4 hours
*I felt like most of my quantitative errors were due to moving to quickly (as I had extra time left over) and my verbal errors were due to fatigue and not reading carefully
My questions: What are some tangible things that I can do over the next 2.5 weeks to improve and prepare for the GMAT? Also, when I practice with full-length exams, should I put much effort/emphasis on the AWA?
Thanks in advance to anyone that has tips/advice for me!

I would also like to know that how people time their full length test. It will be helpful if people posting answers state what they did, when they faced the same problem while preparing for the exam.
I too am not able to complete the test on time..
How to gain time during the test, when you do not want to loose on any question.
Should We skip a question by randomly guessing for an option because educated guess also requires reading the question atleast.
