I know that missing questions in a row, affects the score badly, but could it bring down the score by >5 points?
I gave my first GMATPrep about 2 months back and my split was Q44 (didn't answer the last q'n) and V40 with overall score 690
I gave my second GMATPrep yesterday with the same overall score but a different split Q50 and V33. I got 5 questions in a row incorrect in verbal. I exited the exam in GMATPrep software,and so unfortunately could not go back to check, but I remember they were mostly early 30s (lets say question # 30-34 ). I got all 4 questions in a RC wrong and guessed the next CR as I spent too much time on that RC, leading to 5 incorrect questions in a row.
In my MGMAT CATs my verbal has beeb around 40. I feel that GMATPrep verbal is harder than MGMAT (the opposite is true about Q).
I'm worried about my verbal score in latest GMATPrep and since that's a more accurate predictor.
I know no one will know how much score was affected by my string of incorrect questions, but how much can I reasonably attribute this to the drop in verbal score and how much can I expect to score in the actual test(purely based on my mock test results).
Here are my mock test scores:
MGMAT CAT 1 (June 15) - 720 (Q48 V40)
MGMAT CAT 2(June 22) - 680 (Q46, V37)
GMATPrep 1 (June 23) - 690 (Q44, V40). Might have got little lucky on verbal (as I got couple of passages in areas I can easily relate to). Also didn't answer the last q'n in Q
MGMAT CAT 3(June 29) - 700 (Q47, V?)
MGMAT CAT 4,5,6 (all in Aug 8-15 spread evenly) - 740(on all 3 tests). Splits( test4:Q47,V45 , test5:Q49,V40 , test6: Q47, V44)
GMATPrep 2 (Aug 16) - 690 (Q50, V33) . 5 incorrect questions in a row (maybe q's #s:30-34)
Both the GMATPreps I wrote the essay and IR. In MGMAT - I did IR on last 3 CATs (no essays) and did only Q/V on CATs1-3
Btw, my real GMAT is coming up next week.
There seems to be a lot of inconsistency in the scores. Even in GMATPrep, though both the scores are 690, there is a huge variation in the section scores. Not really sure where I stand in terms of my scores? Really confused if I should postpone.
Please any advice would be greatly appreciated.
