Attempting to gain perspective...

by briangtsmith » Sat Oct 09, 2010 10:11 am
So I've now taken 8 CAT tests from various companies. My scores are as follows:

#1 MGMAT 680 (38Q, 42V)
#2 GMAT Prep 640 (38Q, 40V)
#3 Kaplan 580 (lost breakdown)
#4 GMAT Prep 650 (47Q, 33V)
#5 Knewton 620 (41Q, 36V)
#6 Knewton 640 (38Q, 42V)
#7 Knewton 660 (42Q, 40V)
#8 Veritas 680 (47Q, 41V)

It seems to me I am now safely in the realm of getting a 40+ on both Q and V. I have used the GMAT Calculator, finding I have a good shot of getting between 650 and 690 based on my scores above.

My recent trend of 40/40's, however, lead me to believe I can score higher.

What do you guys think? Does my Q/V breakdown seem to be positively trending? I am aiming for 700, but haven't yet hit that mark.

Thanks!

Retake the 2 GMATpreps and then average them, If you get an average of 720 then you are good to go. But that's my opinion. Believe in yourself man!!!
