Hello,

I will be taking the exam roughly 3 or 4 weeks from now. I've taken 2 official practice exams within the last 2 weeks. Today i took my 2nd one. This is from the previous version, not the version with the IR.

My first exam: 700 (48 Quant) (38 Verb)

2nd exam: 710 (49 quant) (36 Verb)

I thought verbal was worth more?

and also in my 2nd exam, I got A LOT more wrong than I did when i got a 700.

27/37 correct for quant

29/41 verbal.

When i got a 700 i almost got almost all my verbal correct, and still only got 38.

Can someone give me some advice or tell me from experience what they think of my exam? I imagine I need to work on verbal a lot to get a high score. I"m shooting for 750, but would be happy with a 700. My previous exam i took in September was a 640 on the real exam.
