Guys,

I have my GMAT scheduled for the 10th.

Here are the scores from the Practise tests I have taken till now.

MGMAT#1: 680
MGMAT#2: 640
MGMAT#3: 670
MGMAT#4: 700
MGMAT#5 : 680
MGMAT#6: 700

Kaplan CAT#1: 590
Kaplan CAT#2: 610
Kaplan CAT#3: 610
Kaplan CAT#4: 570
Kaplan CAT#5:640
Kaplan CAT#6: 630

GMAT Prep#1: 630 (1.5 months ago)

GMAT Prep#2: 680 (10 days ago)

Power Prep 1: 710 (1 month ago)

I am planning to take Powerprep 2 A day before my test.

Does anyone have any idea as to what I should expect on the GMAT.

At least if I could Know the range I'd be less stressed

Relax Buddy. You seem to have done the hard work already. Firstly you can throw the scores out for the Kaplan Tests. These are good for practice but the scoring system is screwed up. You have scored between 680 and 700 in the last three MGMAT test so you should be able to get similar score on the actual exam.

At this point you only have a few days so no need to stress yourself with new material or more practice exams. The best thing you can do with your remaining time is to review your notes/flashcards and make sure you have them memorized. Also try and re-do the problems you got wrong in the OG. You have done the hard work so don't negate it by overstressing about the exam. Good luck!

I second cleanbold's advice.

If I had to suggest a range, I would go with your latest GMATPrep test score and put a 30-50 point variance around that score. However that's just my unscientific opinion...

Hey Ashish, (or anyone else)

Great scores.

Qtn, in your list of practice tests, I see that u broke it down by 2 Gmat prep tests and one PowerPrep test...

Is gmat prep and powerprep different. I downloaded the gmat prep software. Where can i get the powerprep tests?

Thanks!

MGMAT test?

by Hiran » Sun Oct 21, 2007 8:25 am
I took GMAT exam this weekend

610 -[Math - 47, verbal - 27]

I used to do better in verbal during practice tests. What advice do you give for a retest? should I take just after my 31 day time frame?

I really think that I phsyched out for the verbal somehow!:-(

and where do I get the MGMAT tests? Will be helpful for some practice tests if I am taking a retest just after a month. Please advice!

Hi!
Dont bother buddy, I ended up with a 640 in the end.

Take a few days off.Cool your heels.See where things went wrong.

Make a study plan and then get back.Dont hurry into taking the gmat again......

Also, MGMAT is a very good resource for SC, if thats ur achilees heel

I'm doing the same.Right now just putting a couple of apps in for the first round.

Will retake in December.
