Guys I have prepared for this for three weeks now and decided to switch to take Kaplan's free practice test online. I scored a miserable 640 (Q46, V34)
I made three mistakes in quant and all of them were stupid mistakes. But 34/37 gave me a 46 and a 96 percentile. I made 16 mistakes in verbal and got 74 percentile. Whats the deal with kaplan verbal? Its CRs are a little different than what I normally see!. One of its RC turned out to be based on some senate bill being debated and that was brutal. That RC broke me down and I lost my confidence on the remaining questions. Even their SCs are a little different than the MGMAT GMAT kind. Nonetheless I still feel that my verbal sucks. CR hit rate was 55%, RC 71% and because of lack of time I had to guess a bunch of SCs and that hit rate was a depressing 50%. I can't do anything in quant other than double check to avoid silly mistakes so there is not much scope for improvement there. I finished quant with 20 minutes to spare as compared to verbal where I had to rush the last five questions in 2 minutes. Verbal exhausts me. The huge RCs with ridiculously incomprehensible passages kill motivation. I know that I can get a 48+ in quant and might miraculously touch the 50s. But I desperately want to get to 40s in verbal. I want to prepare so much that I don't want to see any score less than 700 in my future practice tests.

200 or 800. It don't matter no more.
