I sat for GMAT. For all those, who are not aware of what GMAT examination is , just Google it. But to brief you out ,it is a computer adaptive test (CAT) intended to assess certain analytical, writing, quantitative, verbal, and reading skills in written English for use in admission to a graduate management program, such as an MBA.
I was preparing it on my own without external coaching for a few weeks. Yes, some people like me do trust themselves, even in this competitive era , and prepare for elite examinations without external examinations.
I sat for multiple practice tests before actually gathering strength to sit for examination with confidence. During a time when you have pressures at work to fulfill targets , Setting a time of 3 hours to practice can be tough but it is all worth it. Practice more and more but with timer. Questions are not scary but completing questions within the time assigned is. I mostly had troubles with Verbal part though I enjoyed Quantitative.
All those sleepless nights spent studying led me to the test day. By the way, in most of practice tests I was scoring somewhere between 620-660. I woke up with worries on my test day ( Uncontrollable anxiety ).
But, I just meditated for a few minutes and comforted myself that 'Everything is gonna go well'. I left for test center feeling more relaxed and there I played my music ,EDM. Grooving to the music while driving through those jammed roads , I further got rid of all that pre-exam anxiety.
Finally, on reaching my destination I gave my examination with confidence. Trust me , no matter how much you practice ,unless you get hold of those nerves during examination you are not gonna perform your best. I utilized the break to the full by freshening up and keeping mind away from worries of whatever happened in quant section. During Verbal , I followed strategy to note ABCD on every sheet of paper that really helps in questions cz sometimes you just dont look for right answers but eliminate the wrong ones too.
By the way, I ended up finishing my quant section half an hour before the scheduled time and verbal on-time. AWA and IR section was okaish. But best part, I scored 700 with 50 in quant.
So my tip :
DONT WORRY! EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE FINE! best of luck
