I took a week off from work to prep full-time for the GMAT, and it was relaxing yet nerve-wracking. I enjoyed staying up as late as I wanted, and waking up when I wanted. I did not enjoy the part where I had to sit with my laptop, a writing pad, and my GMAT books. All that practice! God! I can't believe I actually did that, on my own, without anyone telling me to study. That is an achievement. Especially, when you don't have a structure to your study material. In other words, I did not go for any of those GMAT prep classes, did it on my own; and after receiving my scores today, I must say, I'm very happy :) :) :).
Well, I cannot expand on my prepwork over the past week, without confessing that I was a bundle of nerves. As I was studying, I went a little crazy. Focussed, but crazy. I did not want to talk to anyone when I was studying, and during my study breaks, I would be so stressed about the actual exam, I'd drive my family and selected friends up the wall..literally :) . So, to mah family (mama, dada, boyfriend and mah darlin sister) and mah 2 friends (you know who you are), thank you for being there when I needed to 'talk' :) :) (yeah, yeah, yeah - enjoy it while it lasts!).
Today, I was actually quite surprised at how calm I was. I timed everything today! Woke up, gave myself 45 minutes to have breakfast/relax, another 45 minutes each to practice quantitative and verbal, and the final 45 minutes to get ready before I had to go. I did not cram on the way to the test centre, was quite calm, went in, started my exam, and came out very, very happy.
