I just did my 2nd practice test (GMAT prep test #1).
Last time I did one from the Kaplan CD. I took it after studying mostly quant, and a bit of verbal for about 3 weeks. It was my first test so I wasn't expecting a very high score and was quite happy with my 550 (30Q, 33V). The whole test felt awful though: I felt nervous, couldnt concentrate too well and even had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the verbal section! Plus I had skipped the AWA.
Today, after quite a bit of quant studying (I'm following the 60-day guide) and no verbal studying or practice since the first test I took my second test. I wasn't expecting a great score, but was wishing for about a 600. Well, when the score screen came up after the test it said:
690! 48Q, 37V
I'm absolutely shocked! I'm actually questioning the accuracy of the software and wondering if it might be buggy!
With 2 more months of study time left I think I might have to raise my target goal a bit
Anyway, just had to tell someone
