Hi Guys, My target score is 660, but I am pretty much confused with the pattern of my scores in the practice tests.

I gave GMAT prep1 and prep2 at the beginning of my preparation and got 570 and 590.

Kaplan Tests - 510,540,570, 610,640

800 score tests- 550, 570, 640,640

I recently gave two MGMAT tests and scored 570 in both.. I am shattered with my peformance.

I dont know what to do... Have Gmat in next 7 days.. I dont know how much will i score on the D-day?

There best thing to do at this stage, is to not stress. With less than 7 days to go, if you panick, you'll just kill yourself on the test day.

Just treat it like a normal test experiene and learn from it. It looks like based on your results you might have to sit it again. Most people sit it more than once so it's expected. So go in with the expectation you will have to sit it a couple more times. Treat this as just another test. You'll be surprised how your mindset changes when you realise you have to sit it more than once.

As for what you can do, it's really hard to say. You didn't give us any details besides your overall score (you baiscally told a cop the guy chasing you was around 170cm...how is he suppose to help you?). Perhaps write a debrief once you're done, and people will offer some suggetions.

I would consider retaking the GMAT Prep tests. There will be a couple repeats, but probably not that many. Sometimes the MGMAT CATs can be out of whack.
