So I have my exam tomorrow morning at 8am 
I have been taking tests for the past 3 months...I have been doing 3-4 tests per week for the past 3 weeks and my scores have ranged from 590 to 660!
Last week I took the first GMATPrep test and it was a 660, I took the second one this morning and it was 600!? I want at least a 650+ I have been going over all my mistakes and studying A LOT!
Any advice, help please!!!

Hi sheilaoak,
Since the exam is tomorrow morning, nothing much can be done but just keep your cool. You should try to content yourself with whatever you've done till now.
If you're in a habit of studying till the last minute, then just do it; I will not advise you to chill and relax. I mean, different things work for different people so just be yourself.
Few points:
-----------------------------
1.) Just ensure that you don't forget basic formulas during the exam time. That's one thing, which should not happen at all. For ex., How do we calculate compound interest? What's the formula for computing area of hexagon?
2.) Read all options and then decide the best one. Many a times it happens that just by reading the first or second option, we conclude that it's 'THE' answer choice. So, when we proceed to other options, our mind has already decided what to mark (as the answer choice) though that may not be the correct answer choice.
This type of case especially happens with CR questions. Some options that look like the remotest one or even don't look like something to be considered at all, actually are the correct ones. Why we mistake here is that our mind already decided the final answer choice so it just could not accept anything else worth considering for.
To sum up, please don't get biased and treat every option with a free mind.
3.) Spend more time on first few ones (7-10 questions) but if there is some really hard one among these, don't spend too much time on that question; just move on further. Only because first few questions matter a lot doesn't mean that you'll end up guessing the last 7-10 questions due to paucity of time. Also, try not to commit mistakes in a row for ex., question no. 15, 16, 17 (all wrong).
You must be thinking that how can I know what I am marking as a correct choice and what I am marking as a wrong choice? What I only mean to say here is that keep you cool while solving the current question after you've encountered a tough previous one.
-----------------------------
That's all from my side. I hope you'll do good. You too should feel the same. After all, you've worked hard, isn't it?
Lastly, pray to God (if you aren't an atheist).
Regards,
Technext
