I am left with last 6 days for my G-MAT. Will be taking the exam on November 5 and hopefully reaching somewhere around 680+, as that is the minimum score I need for getting into the B-schools I have aimed at.
To be honest, I have a pretty good feeling about the exam. Maybe it is because I have started focusing well over the last couple of weeks, and also due to an assuring 690 on the GMAT Prep last weekend. The bottom-line is I have been able to concentrate better over the last two weeks and have consistently solved questions with higher difficulty levels.
A few thoughts on the process till now. It was at the end of April that I started with my prep, got 540 on first GMAT Prep. Then May was totally dry. June was the time when I could really concentrate. July, August and September were really full of trouble due to some issues on the professional front. And frankly, it was only in October that I found my rhythm. I would like to say that I am yet to peak and I hope the best performance comes on the G-Day.
Now a bit about the exam prep. Since I have been told that the most important part is SLEEP, I have avoided business trips over the last 3 months, and also made sure I don't get in any irregular schedules. Have taken 4 days off before the exam to reinforce my preparations. Will visit the Test Center tomorrow to make sure I am comfortable about the directions and location of the Test Center.
I think what GMAT expects from you is just an ability to use the basics of Math and Logic to solve various problems. 600-level problems have just once concept, 650 have two concepts and a twist, 700 have three concepts and a twist, and so on. The key is to keep your cool over the 4 hour Stress-Test. That is what I will be focusing on.
Will keep updating my status on the blog over the next 6 days to make sure I am focused on my cause!
6 days to go!
