Mock Tests and More Preps

As i told you in my last entry , I was now only a week and a half away from D-Day. I had to use the remaining time to practice on the mock tests. The tests from (www.mba.com) were really useful.
Even if you have attempted the test once, don't hesitate to try it again. More often than not, it will give you new questions. Of course some will be repeated but never mind.

From my experience I feel that the above sample test has an error range of -50 points to +10. i.e., if you score 700 here your score in the real GMAT could be anywhere between 650 - 710.
I made the mistake of not taking the sample tests in one shot in one sitting. I took more than allotted breaks and played with my son (that relaxed me more than expected). I also did the mistake of really skipping the 2 essay questions at the start. Somehow i have never appreciated the mind games of the GMAT designers who force you answer these essay questions first and then get into the standard test. Perhaps it is their way of ensuring that you are nuts before the test.

My advice to all you gmatters out there is simple : keep re-taking as many tests as possible. Be persistent and carry on with your practice ... there is an old saying , "Practice makes perfect". So keep on practicing.

till the next post,
cheers.
