I'm taking the GMAT in a week. I've taken a few times practice CAT tests, and haven't been improving my score as much as I've liked. I'm pretty gifted in math, but my score wasn't reflecting it, I was missing 90% of the 700+ level questions so I figured I need more practice on the difficult ones.
So, I took one of the tests not timed to see if it was my actual skills holding me back, or if it was being pressed for time. Before, I was hitting around 75%ile in quat. This time I got above 95! While I did take alot more time on the questions double checking and whatnot, other than a few questions, I don't think I spent a great deal of time on them individually. So, that boosts my confidence on the quant section...
Now, the verbal. I've scored in the 72%ile on the verbal on EVERY one of the 3 tests thus far! That includes the non timed one!
Not sure what that means. I guess my skills in verbal are not subject to time, rather my own ability.
Who knows.
