GMAT Score:500
Hey all,

Just took a GMATPrep practice test and scored a pathetic 450 which is down from a 560 on a different CAT test that I took earlier this month. I actually thought I was going to get a favorable score on this test, especially in verbal (23, wth?). With my real test in four days, should I even go? I mean, I'm obviously not going to get anything that would resemble a meager score. I've moved this test back twice so what's $250 more? As you can tell, the confidence is gone.

If your target is a 700 and you are scoring 450-500, you might be better off postponing the test and reassessing your strategy..don't lose heart my friend.
