1. Relax - because you've done all the studying you can. You are not going to dramatically improve your score in 7 days. Take it easy and review your errors.

2. Repeat step 1.

Unfortunately, I have topped out at 590 on a MGMAT CAT, and just got a 520 this morning on another MGMAT CAT. My highest on a Kaplan CAT was 550. This is 6-7 months of prep work too...

I took the next week off from work so hopefully I can increase it enough to crack the 600 mark.

I am still running out of time on the CATs which does bother me, I have taken at least 10-15 CATs, and I have reviewed about 75% of the questions. I was never too good at these kind of tests but I will continue to do problems, review the work and repeat.

If possible do a CAT at the same time as your actual test. If not then atleast keep your mind active during that time period.

Review notes.

Do not stress your mind

Try to hit the gym or go for a walk and stay healthy

Get a good nights sleep

Good luck!!!

Agree completely -- hit the gym before your test to clear your mind.
