What do you guys think about accuracy of 800Score's tests?

I score 720, 700, 680 and 700.

I always do better with problem solving questions in math and critical reading questions in verbal but it was different with these tests. I got at least half of the CR questions wrong all the time.

After going through some 800 score tests, I think these are good for Q practice. For verbal the questions are not too tough. The scoring alogorithm, as done by other companies, is a bit hard in cacluating the score. Question review mode is not impressive, atleast for me. To read the explanation in a narrow window is difficult.

But still I think 800 score CATs are good for practice. Q section is great infact. For more on 800 score, you can check this out

Hope it helps.

I recommend not to use 800Score Test for simulating complete test environment, but yes focusing on single section and want to practice with timing then 800 Score Tests are good material both for Quant & Verbal

I took GMAT twice (only 1 month between exams) and difference was >50 points between two real exams. I can't say that I was much better prepared last time. So, if you want to see score as close as possible to reality, use GMAT Prep test but again, accuracy is >50 points. So, I would not recommend to relay on any other score than GMAT Test Prep's score.
