Okay, I took a look. Naturally, it's a little hard to tell why you did worse on the real test from looking at your CATs, but if you didn't notice anything different, it's all we have to go on.
The biggest thing I noticed is that you are under 50% in CR. You seem strong on the core assumption-based problems, but you are getting
destroyed pretty much everywhere else--Describe the Role, Explain the Discrepancy, and Draw a Conclusion. While you should get some more practice on all of these, Draw a Conclusion is where you need to focus the most attention. This is really about making inferences, which is one of the core skills on this test. You only got 1/8 correct in this area, so clearly something is going wrong! One thing to consider on these is if you identified the task correctly--sometimes these can look like Strengthen questions if we're not reading carefully. The next thing is to go back through and try to find support. Can you see why the right answer is justified? It should be right there in the text. Can you see why the wrong answers are wrong? They should each have some element that is not supported by the text. This is really the exact same task as Reading Comp inference--you just have a shorter piece of text to work with. You're doing much better there, so it may help to cross-train between those two areas.
On SC, you are missing
all of the Verb and Idiom questions, so those could use some attention. Interestingly, you're also missing a lot of Meaning questions. This could help to explain your test-day performance. When there's a meaning issue that we don't see, we are often quite confident that we have the right answer. These are important to check for, especially if several of the answers seem like they could work.
Your RC is really strong, so it's just important to make sure that you're okay regardless of the content area. If there's any topic that gives you a hard time, make sure to get some extra practice with that type of material. For instance, if you don't like passages about literature, find all of the literature RC passages that you can! Pay careful attention to inference here, so that you can strengthen your CR skills in the process.
The other thing to consider is if you are changing anything on test day. Sometimes when people underperform on Verbal, it's because they are simply exhausted by the end of the exam. It looks like you are consistently taking realistic CATs (complete with essay & IR). Were you timing them completely realistically (no pauses, 8 min breaks between sections)? Did you approach the test differently in any way on test day? Did you put extra pressure on yourself to get them all right? I noticed that on your last 2 CATs, you finished Verbal rather early. This isn't necessarily good (maybe you could have used that time productively), but did it happen on test day, or did you end up crunched for time? Were you still able to let a problem go if it was too hard?
Of course, we'll never really know why you got the score you got, and in any case, it's not
that much lower than your practice tests in terms of raw score, especially considering that your highest Verbal scores were on tests you were retaking (so you may have benefited a little from working with material you had seen before). In the end, you'll just have to focus on strengthening your weak areas (in quant and verbal) and making sure you are handling the overall timing/endurance aspect well. If it makes you feel better, I have heard from a lot of students who ended up needing to take the real test 3 times just to get the score that they had been hitting consistently at home! Keep it up!
