point of no return.

i'm within two weeks of my scheduled gmat date (t-minus 9 days and counting), which means that any chance of rescheduling/postponing has come and gone. so i'm basically in full view of the firing squad, and frantically working on as many practice problems as possible. after a few demoralizing rounds of questions in my peterson's guide to the gmat, i looked up reviews on amazon to see whether other people found the book to be as challenging as i found it to be. turns out that everyone pretty much had my reaction: "wtf???" i won't torture you with the gory details of the critical reasoning questions/answers that made absolutely no sense, suffice to say that i've switched over to the princeton review guide to the gmat and things are moving a lot more smoothly, though on the math end of things, permutations and combinations are especially frustrating. i'm hoping i don't get any of those questions, which probably means, given my luck, that my exam will lead with one. ugh. in any case, while i'm not smugly confident, i'm not totally panicked either. i think i'll be okay... wish me luck!
