GMAT Past - I beat the gmat

Good Luck Stay Calm

Just wanted to update the forum. After all my prep. I didn't study at all the day before, and barely studied 2 days before, relaxed and went into the test.

It was a great experience, was very ready, especially from this forum.

I came out with a 760 V44 Q49, which was exactly my target. I scored this on my last 2 GMATpreps and believe that's the best indicator of performance (750/760 on MGMAT too, so fairly accurate).

Thanks for all the help!

I believe the opposite is true. Having taken both MGMT and Kaplan's CAT tests, I am convinced that MGMT's verbal and quant CAT sections are more difficult than the actual GMAT.

I think that you should score at least as high (if not higher) on the actual GMAT than on MGMT practice CATs. I think that the real issue of falling short of your normal practice scores has to do with your nerves during test day--which can be quite difficult to do.
