Hi!
I'm taking the GMAT in a couple of weeks! I started prepping last week. The reason behind this extremely short prep period is that I just decided to apply to a few programs recently, and now the race is on to get my apps in on time for Fall 2009.
I began by taking the GMATPrep Practice Test 1 and I scored a 670. I don't remember the broken-down scores. My question is whether this is an accurate representation of my abilities on the real test. I didn't get to complete the math section because I ran out of time. I got to number 31 out of 37 I think.
Does the GMATPrep practice test give a penalty for non-completion like the actual test? Everyone keeps saying that the test is the most accurate predictor of performance on the actual test, but is it true in this case?
If I didn't even get to the ast 6 questions of the test, how high would my score have been if I had been better at time management? Or did the practice test not impose a penalty?
Based on my initial score of 670 before studying, is it possible for me to reach 700+ two weeks from now? I've been working really hard on Critical Reasoning because I think that's my weakest area. I am relying on a strategy of 'simple and clean' - I'm only using the Official Guide and the Verbal and Quantitative review to prepare.
Also, when I took the SAT's, I scored a good 40-50 points higher on timed practice tests than I did on the actual test. But I did manage to improve my score from 1280 to 1380, and my SAT II Writing Score was 750. I don't know if SAT progress and performance are indicators of GMAT progress and performance, but maybe?
