Hi everyone- I am coming to the end of my prep with 2 weeks till the exam day. My scores however have been fluctuating insanely and I simply am not sure what to do. Here are my scores

1) Diagnostic- before studying - 530, 30 quant 35 verbal

2) gmat prep- 640 44 quant 35 verbal

3) mgmat - 670 43 quant 38 verbal

4) Mgmat-just Quant- 47- had really lucky guesses so think it was inflated

5) Today- gmat prep- 560 43 quant 25 verbal!

With the verbal- there was one long passage about president history that I really didn't understand at all- I pretty much had to guess on all the answers. I am pretty sure this is what brought the score down. With the official guide, my SC have risen to 80 percent hit rate and my CR and RC was never really an issue. Hard history or economic passages are really difficult for me to comprehend- if it's more science related its usually easier- I am not sure what to do. I know clearly the verbal was a fluke and I am really around 35 i am just nervous this could happen on d day. My target score is 700 and I don't know whether to postpone date which is in 2 weeks and to how to stop the fluctuations. Any help or insight would be great. Thanks.

Hi,

Do you have more information about this software error ? Does it mean that the scoring is wrong for everyone then ?

Hey- ya it was wrong scoring for everyone who downloaded the new software and used it. Last night or around then they uploaded the fixed version. Now it should be working fine.
