Hello,

I have been studying for more than 3 months now. I took a couple of practice tests and have a huge variation in each test.

MGMAT-1 - 590 (Q44, V29) I found this test really hard and was not able to finish either section
Kaplan free test -630 (Q47, V29) I wanted to check score with some other vendor and was not able to finish quant here.
GMAT Prep1 - 660 (Q50, V29) I found quant easy here and verbal was according to standards of other tests. I believe their alogrithm is gold.
MGMAT -2 - 700 (Q 45, V40) Quant was very tough again and verbal was much easier this time. I was surprised that I finish verbal 2 minutes ahead of time and got so many idiom questions in SC. I do not have that good of verbal either but worked on improving SC lately. RC accuracy sucks

You can see I have such a huge variation in each test and not sure what will be my true score. I do want to achieve 700+ and it is frustrating that score is hopping like this in each test.
any suggestions will be helpful.
How can I improve my RC accuracy?
I am doing RC 99 with timer to improve my speed but accuracy is not improving only speed is.

What can I do at this stage to improve my score? I am planning to take GMAT on Dec10 and really want to break 700 barrier.

Thanks
Nishant

GMAT Prep is the most reliable so I think you should expect a score close to what you have achieved from their test.

I think if your accuracy is down, you need to understand things better. Your comprehension level is not upto the mark right now-that's why you are getting the questions wrong.
