Last CAT before the real thing?

21 May 2017, 08:30
Hi,

I have GMAT on 24th May Wednesday. I want to do one last GMAT CAT tomorrow. Any advises which one should I do, GMAT Prep or MGMAT Free CAT? I did 620 and later 730 on GMATPrep 1 and 660 on GMAT Prep 2. I saw repetitions. So thats why I am bit discouraged to do a 'soft' test before the actual thing. I will not go for reviewing the mistakes, as I have lot of error log to go through. I am looking more stamina oriented and intense test so that I don't go too overconfident timing wise on my real exam.

Looking forward to urgent responses!

Hi Semusal ,

The only prep you MUST take at this moment is GMAT Prep. If you are short of Preps, go ahead and buy exam pack 1.

Taking Manhattan at this point will demotivate you badly. So, I would strongly suggest not to think of giving Manhattan.

If I were at your place, I would have skipped giving any Mock at this point when my actual exam is approaching.

It is better to revise your error logs and practice some light weight questions.

Good Luck for your exam. Keep us posted. :)

There are several schools of thought. I found it helpful to do a rehearsal of my test day experience 24 hours before the real test and take the rest of the day off, just doing some check list and strategy refresh exercises. I woke up at the same time, ate the same things and wore the same pants and sweater.

The other school of thought is to take it easy and just do light review for the last 2 days.

My suggestion would be to take a GMAT Prep. Preferably one you have not taken such as EP1.

Good luck!

If you haven't taken the test yet, I would suggest not taking one now because of a number of reasons.
- Taking a full length practice test is mentally and physically exhausting.
- You don't have enough time to review it so you won't gain much out of it. One test won't build stamina.
- An unfortunate score in this test could really bring your morale down - you don't want that a day before your actual test.

I would suggest you to just review your error log now to gear up for the big day.

Congrats :-D Your previous score were 620 Prep 1 and 660 Prep 2, but your real score is 700. Is there any miracle here? :-D Could you share your opinion about the real test? Did the difficulty level of the real test match the test in GMATPrep? I have a fear that the real test is getting harder.

There is a gap of 3 months between the two. 620 was my base score. Don't worry. I found the test of the same level as Kaplan. In fact a little easier. Stamina is the key!
