One week till test date!

[gmatcats]

Hi-

My post from my first gmat test is a few posts down. I scored a terrible 570 ( 41/28) after scoring mid to high 600's on practice tests. I am taking the test again in one week and ready to kill it this time. My practice scores this time are:

Mgmat 1 - 700 47/38

Mgmat 2 - 710 47/40

Mgmat 3 - 740 46/45

Power Prep-640 44/33

I am not nervous about this test though- I got 6 wrong in quant and it gave me a 44, thats ridiculous... clearly something is off. Its amazing how I have gotten so few repeats on the manhattan gmat cat's- can probably count them on my hand.

Interesting thing is I had to take a break and did not do an ounce of studying for 5 days and then took the 3rd CAT right away, an insane jump of 30 points! I'm thinking maybe not to study starting three days before my next test date. Anyway, I'm hoping these 700's are accurate and I can really pull through this time! Last time I was going in an expecting to take it again...was mellow and relaxed about the whole thing- This time I feel like I can destroy this test and am really confident so maybe that will make a difference...

Just took gmat prep #2 and got a 740! 46/44. I have taken the gmat prep #2 about a month and a half ago- I recognized two passages and one SC, although last time I never went over the questions to see which I got wrong and why so it can't be to inflated.

PowerPrep is the old version of the software, so yes you can discount it somewhat... but you should still try to figure out why your score dropped there. Your verbal score was the big drop - why did it drop so much?

On GMATPrep, your verbal was probably inflated somewhat from recognizing the two passages - did you get all the same questions too? But you still have some buffer there - even if you drop 30-40 points, you're still 700+.
