Hello Everyone,
Recently, finished GMAT. Scored much lower than expected due to the mental exhaustion after quant.
Found at least three members (GMATT73, willget800, Laxie) here, who could have scored much higher if not that problem. It has nothing to do with panic or anxiety. One just cannot fully use his potential because of the lack of energy and concentration.
Hence, if anybody have any ideas or suggestions on how to overcome or get prepared to that problem, please share your experience. It would be great if you could describe in details all your efforts: what did you eat or drink, how did you spend the time before the test, what did you do during the breaks, how did you managed to gain concentration at the end of the test etc…
Thanks in advance

How many full tests did you do before the exam?
I did 2-3 full tests and then reviewed each wrong answer each day on my last week of preparation , so the real thing was like a breeze. It seems that you have to work on your stamina to get the result you want.

I had the same problem and my solution was to drink a red bull (which i kept cold with a thermos) and eat a protein bar during the break after quant. Some people don't work well with caffeine so this would obviously be a bad idea for those people. But since I drink a red bull nearly every day at work I'm accustomed to thinking with caffeine. Also, drinking a red bull after quant allows you to make it through AWA and Quant on your own energy, which is a good idea because you don't want to drink caffeine at the start of test as you will be coming down by the Verbal section (exactly when you need your energy the most!). Anyway thats just my 2 cents, I know a lot of the test prep companies tell you to avoid caffeine altogether.
Also, make sure that you do the AWA's with your practice tests!
