Practise test analysis

[akhilsuhag]

I had a very weird experience with practise tests. I gave the first test without any preparation:

GMATPrep Test1: 620 (Q:39; V:35)
Then after a week prep I found the PC online practise test (Princeton Review):

Priceton Review (Practise Test): 530 (Q: 40; V: 23)
This meant after a week of preparation my score went down by a full 90 points.

I felt real down and decided to give the GMATPrep Test1 again as I had heard the questions don't repeat. And the did not repeat except a couple maybe in verbal and I did not really remember my last answers and I scored the following:

GMATPrep Test1(Second Time): 660 (Q: 45; V: 35)

So where do I actually stand. I was hoping if someone could help me figure this out as the fluctuation is humongous and also how do I move forward.

Thanks,
Akhil

GMAT Prep is always the better tool to analyze the score simply because it comes from the test creators.

I say you stand at 620. More importantly, it is important to note the individual sections. That tells you the real story about where you stand. Not the final overall score.

Other companies can only get close to the algorithm,
