I'm consistantly now right around 43 / 44 in Q and about 34-36 in V. I've gotten as high as 46 on Q before and as high as 42 on V before. The 42 on V was when I was in the zone and was killing reading com. It was quiet - I was relaxed. Ironically the 46 on Q was what I got on my first GMAT prep exam 3 months ago and haven't been able to score 46 again.

I would like to ask - conceptually - what's the difference between a 44 in Q vs a 47. Is this one person know combinatorics and one person not.

As for V - What's the difference between a 36 in V vs. a 40 in V - is this one person knowing the difference between past perfect vs. simple past?

Any thoughts?

Simple

Its quite simple. See which questions you get wrong in the practice tests. Figure out the areas/pattern out of wrong questions. Work on it for 2 days. Retake the exam.
Rinse and repeat :P

Edited later: Sorry. Posted on wrong thread. Please ignore.

GMAT Score:750

Q44 (70%ile); V36 (78%ile) = 660 (83%ile)
Q44 (70%ile); V40 (89%ile) = 690 (88%ile)
Q47 (79%ile); V36 (78%ile) = 680 (86%ile)
Q47 (79%ile); V40 (89%ile) = 710 (92%ile)

The difference is HUGE! 50 points and an 80/80 designation.

The diffenece is not about knowing combinatronics. I think the difference between a 44Q and a 47Q is the 47Q really KNOWS all the fundamentals well and does not get trapped by trick GMAT questions; the 44 knows most fundamentals well but not all, and may get tricked by GMAT traps occasionally. I don't think you can point to one type of question e.g. combinatronics as a sign of how well you will score because there are some VERY easy combinatronics questions.
