6 hrs of studying today... it's not enough!

3 weeks to go and on my off days from work, I should be hitting 7 hrs (realistic).

The top 6 things I am working on, which I feel will help me on the exam:

  1. Positive self talk and attitude - critical so that I don't panic on the exam - FEAR leads to a bad score!
  2. GMAT Strategy:
    1. Practice pacing/timing
    2. Practice a few key steps on each and every Problem Solving question I encounter:
      1. Read question and write down important facts
      2. Always write down what the question is asking me so that I ensure I answer the question asked (I've made a lot of careless mistakes this way)
  3. Do more Verbal practice (I've been focusing 95% of my time on quant so far) - commit to 20 CR per day and 2 RC per day (heavy but I need to squeeze it in at work)
  4. Do 5 GMAT Prep practice tests before test day. Why? To get familiar with the blue screen/format and help me tackle point #1 (reduce my fear!)
  5. Do MGMAT CAT #4 (focus more on GMAT Prep tests, but do 1 more MGMAT to get a bank of questions that I can practice and get my head around)
  6. Review, Review, Review theory
