Yes, the actual score usually falls between +-20 points of your GMAT Prep, that is if you took the GMAT Prep under test conditions.

Just take the exam once again before the test.
And yes, be aggressive but calm while taking the actual test and you should be able to score a 680 with a little bit of luck!!

All the best!!!

My score in GMAT Prep over a period of time were
GMAT Prep1 700
GMAT Prep2 710

GMAT Prep1Repeat 720
GMAT Prep2Repeat 740

Actual Score 750

Thanks Z_I.. any advise for me on what to study the last 3 days. I will give one gmatprep today.. and then planning to just go over the materials - last two days.. rather than giving any more tests.

what do you suggest

I took a test a day before the test and just analyzed each question, tried to solve the quant questions i didn't get right and tried to search the forum for any explanations of the verbal section that i wasn't sure of.

The day before the test I just revised basic concepts for a couple of hours....evening i went out met my friends, had a nice meal and just relaxed and slept well.....remember, your mind has to be fresh and you should be confident of your preparation. Just remember, if dont panic and do justice to the kind of work that you have put in then you will be rewarded proportionately....not more not less.........

You can check out my debrief in the link below to read about my experience with the test.........

All the best!!!
