A quick update, these are my last two MGMAT simulations (completed yesterday and today). I aim to get a 700+ score, do you think I can get what I want now? If it is the case, I would take the GMAT on March, 22. Many thanks for your help!

What were your final scores for those tests?
Also, have you taken an official GMATPrep practice test? https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... tware.aspx. If so, what were your scores?
The MGMAT practice tests are great, but the GMATPrep tests are still the best indication of your skills.
Cheers,
Brent

Final scores: 720 on saturday (Q44V44), 690 on sunday (Q46V38). Until now I practiced only using MGMAT tests, but this week I will definitely take the two GMATPrep tests plus - maybe - another (the sixth and last) MGMAT test.
Still, I do not know whether I am ready to sit for the GMAT...

I typically suggest that students achieve their target score on at least 2 practices tests before they take the official test.
If you can get 700+ on two more practice tests, I think you'll be ready.

Well, maybe it's just normal to feel like this, but a part of me believes that I'm ready, while somewhere in my heart I still think that after all these nice numbers I can get a disheartening official score...I mean, I really wanna go for it, it's just that I don't know if the final score will really reflect what I'm getting here...but once again, maybe it's just normal to feel like this...

Yes, it's normal to have doubts about the test, but those doubts can hurt you on test day.
When you walk into the test center, you need to be filled with confidence.
Your reaction to each question should be "Ha! You call that a difficult question?"
Approach everything as the GMAT powerhouse you are.
And so on.
Confidence is key.
If that's not how you feel, then "fake it until you make it."
My 2 cents.
