GMAT Score:630
Just did my 4th CAT and got 39Q 31V with my usual below 600 score:

1)420
2)570
3)530
4)580

Its weird b/c I guessed on 2/3 of the quant Qs and got 19 wrong on CAT4... but got a 39Q?? The difficulty range was comparable to my previous test but I got 20 wrong on the last one and got a 33.. huh? I'll take it since I am shooting for 620-640.. SAN DIEGO STATE BABY! ...I aim low :(... but come on.. is that reliable? I got a 38Q in the GMAT Prep (took between MGMAT CAT3 and 4) guessing on about 60% of them (educated guesses, mind you) and only got 15 wrong.

BTW, why does Verbal suck so much (for this test in general)? I felt I like I was kicking its butt only to get a 31 on my last 2 CATs. I hate RC mainly the "R" part. I took all of my CATS during the night after working long hours and chugging a 5-hour energy drink (which DOESNT work) on weeknights. Hopefully, I can increase the overall by 20 just by getting some rest. OK, I went off topic, sue me. Anyways..did the MGMAT CAT score make sense in your study sessions?

I don't want to get my hopes up with the decent Q scores (decent for ME..keep in mind that I am a moron and getting near 40Q is considered a miracle 2nd only to Brett Favre completing a playoff game without choking).

BTW: Feel free to apply your sentence correction idioms and subject verb agreement knowledge on this post... it'll be good practice for the real thing :? Arrivederci!
