I plan to take the test on 7th April

We have public holidays in Qatar starting tomorrow till 7th April (11days).
How should I strategise my prep in these last days?

This will be my 3rd attempt (1st Focus edition)
I scored 700 in 2022 (Q50, V35) and 690 (Cancelled) in 2023.

I scored a 695 in official mock1
I plan to take another mock tomorrow.

PnC and probabilities are my weak topics. Should I spend too much time on it? Are they really that important?

How many RC passages should I expect in

I recommend doing as many practice tests as you can, and in-between each practice test, focus on your weak sections.

Actual mock exam reps were the most important prep for my score. Bumped my score up 50pts between test attempts

It was slightly different (different mix of question types, I also got a geometry question even though I took the FE) but overall difficulty was similar.

For reference, my first test attempt was ~20 pts below my average mock score and my second attempt was 20 pts higher than I had ever scored in mock exams, so I’d say the real thing hovers in the ballpark of the mocks and test results absolutely depend on the specific questions you receive and how well you happen to answer on that specific day.

A good reminder that the GMAT is not a reflection of your skill level, it’s a reflection of your performance on one day with the set of questions you are given on that day. A snapshot.
