Make sure you have a timing strategy

If you take the 2 GMAT Prep exams in the next 6 days and figure out a good timing strategy, I think that your score will translate into about a 670-690 on the actual GMAT.

While I like the above poster's optimism, I think a 670-690 is a bit high to expect when scoring in the low 500s on practice tests. In my extensive GMAT teaching experience, it's very rare for students to score a lot higher or a lot lower (say within 30 points) on the actual GMAT than they scored on their last practice exam.

The GMAT Prep exams are probably the best indicators of actual GMAT performance. Take one of those, and be pretty confident that you'll score in that range.
