Got 730 (q48, v42)

Going further with my OG preparation ... I just finished today the DS part (155 questions) and scored 133/150. Similar percentages for the other sections I have already reviewed (90/100 in CR - 21/26 in RC). Hence my question is : is there any way of "predicting" GMAT scores by seeing what...

I'm 29 years old, holding since 2000 a MSc in Management (5 years degree...
