I think there really isn't a correct or incorrect answer to it because it depends on many factors. More importantly, I think you should focus less on \"how long should I spend to review each of x number of tests\" and instead focus on effective improvement.\r\n\r\nFirst, I like that you are focused on effective studying. Proper review and then proper targeted practice is important. Good job.\r\n\r\nSecond, do you need to take all 8 exams? It's not as it there is a certain number of exams that you take that magically gives you a certain score. Instead, continue to take PTs until you are consistently performing as you would like.\r\n\r\nThird, how long it takes you between tests depends on what issues you identify and how long it takes you to feel comfortable in effectively addressing them. That might take 1 day, or it might take a month.\r\n\r\nFourth, you will make a lot of careless mistakes, and you will hate yourself for them. Trust me, it happens to everyone. Why I mention this, is that you should really be observant of this while you PT. You will likely make some content mistakes, but you will also probably incorrectly identify some of those careless mistakes as content mistakes and then waste time practicing a lot of content. Instead, correctly identify the instances in which you are making careless mistakes and then focus on eliminating them through better strategy instead of brute-force practicing more content.\r\n\r\nAs far as your admission specifics, it's hard to say. Your best source of information will be the school itself. However, given that you are below the lower 20% of the GPA (3.3-3.9), you should probably be about the 80% on GMAT if possible. Is 650+ enough? No idea, but I would strive for at least that, and maybe 700+ to be sure that you are as attractive of an applicant as possible.\r\n\r\nRegarding the test, you receive a laminated book. It's mentioned around 2:40 in [this video](http://www.mba.com/us/the-gmat-exam/prepare-for-the-gmat-exam/plan-for-test-day/gmat-test-center-tour.aspx) from mba.com and is better described in [this article](https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/2014/09/23/how-to-set-up-your-gmat-scratch-paper/) by Manhattan. You can also buy sample ones [here](https://www.amazon.com/Manhattan-GMAT-Simulation-Booklet-Marker/dp/0979017580), though it's not a big deal to do so","subreddit_name":"GMAT","author":"trainyourbrainmike"},{"body":"They give you this laminated notepad thing instead of paper.
