Hi buddies, please your help with this doubt:
I have taken two GMATPrep practice tests, and my scores in the Verbal section were 40 and 44. Probably, the second one was a little inflated, but no so much because I think I would have answered well those repeated questions If I hadn't seen them before. So, I think the real score in Verbal was a 42-43.
However, my experience in this preparation is that, specially in SC, there will be always something NEW that you have not seen before. Maybe an idiom, a structure, whatever. Even Ron Purewal felt surprised with an Official GmatPrep question. That's frustrating, specially when you have studied a lot for that section of the exam.
So, my question is when someone can say "Ok, I am ready to get a great score", considering the fact that they always can evaluate something that you have never seen before? It seems that getting a 42-44 requires 6-8 wrong questions at most. It's challenging, specially for a non-native speaker.
So, although I got good scores in the practice tests, my concern is that they could evaluate something new. Should I study more?, or when could I say "I'm ready"?
Thanks!
