The last missing holes T-4 days

Quant:
Quadratic Special Formulas
Inequalities

Seems like 75% of my incorrect quant problems have something to do with these two concepts. So I will focus on them today at work with flashcards on the subways, bookwork at my desk, and mgmat question banks while in the control room.

Verbal:
Critical Reasoning
Reading Comprehension (inference, author agreement)

The issue with reading comp is more about not having enough practice in. The passages are long and I am too lazy most of the time. This might be a good one to also do in my office today. For critical reasoning I need to dumb it down a bit. I can seriously take my way in or out of each answer (gee sot of like real life) but I need to really act like a dumb lawyer type... nit pick each answer and assume little. Also lack of considerable practice ties in hear as well.

other than these issues, I feel ok with most everything else. Ok enough that I am cool with dumping out of other questions that are still bugging me. Why spend a couple hours really getting to understand the slope intercept equation when the likelihood of getting that exact question is limited.. smart guessing is cool with me on that.

Equally important is the fact I need to mentally prepare. Today is studying at work with some tv watching... tomorrow TV is cut out with some studying and a break to go to the US Open... Sunday.. just studying, maybe in my office in peace and quiet with no tv and no facebook. Monday I am off of work, no tv, no work emails, no facebook. Tuesday is the big test day. No emails, tv, facebook, twitter... no bs.

GMAT Prep disappointment

600 Q37 V35

Dammit. These questions look and act very different than the Manhattan Gmat questions. Fucking hell..

Well the GmatClub.com score predictor has me at a 630. Ugh, not where I want to be exactly. Now I have read forums of people that never broke 680 on a practice test, yet landed a 710 on test day. So who knows? No seriously, I want to know who knows what the hell to expect!

I guess I will keep plugging along.. not sure what else to do really.

Whitney Houston... and little studying

Maybe I should not have gone.. but I went to Whitney Houston today. No studying, just trainwreck watching. Tomorrow I will really buckle down and do overview work and a GmatPrep test (sans essays). I am taking the work laptop home so I can actually do the test.

It is incredible how much my body aches right now. Yea we stood around waiting for Whitney, but I mean it wasn't strenuous or anything. I did only get 6 hours of sleep.. knowing me.. that is more the issue.

A good nights rest in order.

Sick

Ugh, my stomach is a mess. I was was so sick last night, so nothing got done in terms of GMAT. So today I must bust on it. (even though I still feel crummy).

The GmatPrep tests do not work on my janky iBook. So I need to remember to bring home the work laptop tonight for the testing.

MGMAT Practice test #4

610 Q37 V36

Hmm. The testing center was packed and I was stuck on a left hand desk and the guy next to me would not stop farting. Yuk. So while I was doing the quant section, I felt like I was bombing it but muddle through regardless. The boost in the verbal section is nice. Seems like with verbal I just need to slow down because I have plenty of time and I tend to get more right that way. If you take my highest quant and highest verbal together, it is a 660. Encouraging. I would love to see a practice test that is 650+ at this point.

I think I will take the GmatPrep test today. Considering there is a crackhead screaming across the street, it may be best for me to go to my office to take the test, maybe around 7p tonight. This should really tell me more accurately where I am at. Of course I would love to see a 700 + score, I am guessing it will be around 650.
