Day Nine Countdown : GMAT Training

Day 9 was special.  I woke up with extra spunk.  Therefore, I thought it would be a good day to complete a practice exam.  But, I needed to decide which GMAT practice test to take.  In the end, I picked Kaplan’s GMAT Premier Program 2008 Book Test.

Before the end of the test, I started to get tired.  Yet I was able to finish strong.  In past GMAT practice tests, I had the tendency to cringe before seeing the next question.  However, this time, I wanted the next question.  I started to become confident in my ability, even if the question was difficult.  Again, I expected to score at least 600. A GMAT practice score of 600 is the next confidence level that stands in my way.

Finally, I scored over 600 on a practice exam.  In fact, I scored 620.  My quantitative score could have been better.  On this practice test, I really focused on slowing down on the verbal section.  I did much better on the reading comprehension section; hopefully, this strategy will continue to work on upcoming practice tests.  I am definitely aiming for at least a 700 GMAT score.
