Hi Doug,
I actually just arrived in London today to begin training for D.........
Bank. As for my feelings on the test experience, I actually found
Kaplan's questions to be slightly more difficult than the actual test
which worked in my favor but also made me far more nervous than I
needed to be. What I found most helpful is to repeatedly review the
problems I got wrong. I reviewed some of the assignments that I did
poorly on 5 or more times, which really helped me feel comfortable.
Otherwise, I felt our sessions together did an excellent job in
preparing me for the exam. The only thing that caught me off-guard
was how much was going on in the actual testing room. I assumed I
would be sitting with other students, but didnt realize that most of
the students there were taking different exams at different times. I
was extremely distracted by the constant sound of the door opening and
closing, and the earplugs they offered were basically useless. I
don't know if every testing center is like this, but it was the one
thing I was not expecting.
Again, I really appreciate all of your help and hope you have a
wonderful summer!
Best,
Ali
NOTE: Ali never took advantage of one of Kaplan's best features, the Ultimate Practice Test, a Kaplan practice CAT given in the same Pearson Test Center where the actual GMAT is administered. If she had, the noise levels and commotion wouldn't have thrown her.
