Hi Chris,

Congratulations on the practice test score improvement! I would say that if you're scoring well above your target score on practice tests, you have a strong chance of exceeding your target score on the real thing... with a few big "ifs":

- If you are timing yourself accurately on practice tests (not hitting pause to work on questions or take bathroom breaks)

- If there weren't so many question repeats that you had simply memorized the right answers

- If you are managing test anxiety, so that you don't panic on the real test

Given these, your practice tests should be reasonably indicative of real test performance. I would recommend a few things for you:

1. Spend time reviewing your practice tests in a lot of depth. Ask yourself - what kinds of mistakes was I making? Are there gaps in my content knowledge? What are the traps involved in this problem type, and how can I avoid them?

2. Take a GMATPrep practice test at mba.com. This test was written by the actual GMAT test writers, so it's as close as possible to the real thing. If you want additional perspective, many other test prep companies offer free diagnostic practice tests (you can find ours at www.manhattangmat.com) One or two more practice tests should suffice, and be sure to review these practice tests in a lot of depth as well.

That said, it sounds like you're likely to exceed your goals! Best of luck!
