CAT Scores

Below are my scores for 4 CATs:

CAT 1: 600 (36Q, 36V)
CAT 2: 600 (37Q, 35V) Note: didn't confirm last question N/A
CAT 3: 690 (43Q, 40V)
CAT 4: 700 (44Q, 41V)

I am want to feel confident that I can score around this level on the real test, but I am a little skeptical. I noticed that I'm not getting many of the 700-800 level questions correct, Verbal yes, but Quant no. Therefore, I'm hesitant to believe my Quant score, and hence the last two CAT scores.

Any input?? Does this make sense?

Thanks in advance!

On what dates did you take these? Did you take them under full official conditions? (30m each for two essays, 10m break, 75m quant, 10m break, 75m verbal) Did you take them at the same time of day as you plan to take the official test?

Also, if you're scoring around a 700, you shouldn't be getting many of the 700+ questions correct. That's exactly how the test works! :)

I also recommend taking GMATPrep: that's the closest thing to the real test (uses the same algorithm as the real test). The standard deviation on our tests is about 50 points. The SD on the official test and GMATPrep is about 30 points.
