Hello nikitadoshi,
Judging from your GMATPrep scores I'd say you'll score around a 660 +or- 30 points depending on how you handle stress. This is also assuming that you took the full GMAT practice tests and didn't skip the writing section. If you skipped the writing section it's very possible that you'll score lower because you wouldn't have built up your stamina. It's very important to take the full practice tests. Also, you'll notice that your GMATPREP scores didn't fluctuate that much- this is the more accurate predictor of your future GMAT success so you should pay more attention to it.

Cheers
