So you just finished spending three months (which is the ideal prep time) working hard for the GMAT ……you are done with Critical Reasoning and its frustrating question stems, you are also done with practicing more than 150 Reading Comprehension questions and finally sentence correction looked easy, thanks to the intense grammar sessions provided by MBAGuru (I want to stress on this – this is the only place I have seen with such great focus on getting your grammar fundas right!)...
...And now your test date is about 10-15 days away. From today to the date of your real GMAT Exam, you could end up committing your biggest prep mistake – which is either not appearing for online practice tests or appearing for very few of them.
As we get into the thick of our preparations, we often tend to forget that an examination like GMAT is finally not an aggregate of our knowledge of English and Math. Your GMAT preparation is incomplete without having understood the test dynamics that go beyond all theoretical knowledge.
Remember, the GMAT lasts for about 4 hours which gets stressful and takes a toll over your performance especially in the last one hour or so. The more you practice online, the more you are able to handle the imminent blanking out of your mind during the real GMAT.
Last 15 days before the exam are crucial and a well-planned schedule is a must.
So avoid the burn out and the anxiety, practice online sample papers, strengthen your base in the required subjects and earn your highest possible score.
