Hi everyone,
I haven't post for a while, so just want to provide everyone a status since my first GMAT take (670 Q47 V35) back in July.
I have my GMAT re-take coming up on Dec. 29th, and have been following the Magoosh's Advanced Plan loosely for 1-2 months now.
It seems the effort has paid off - I re-took the 2nd mock just now and got 740 Q50 V40
. My first 2nd mock take (660 Q44 V36) was back in July, so hopefully half a year is enough separation of time to keep this re-take "clean". I know this probably has been asked many times already, but just how seriously can I treat the results of a mock re-take? After all, I don't want to instill myself with a false sense of security and confidence.
Fortunately, I am currently on break all the way up to exam date, so I can in theory squeeze in another 50 hours concentrated study if needed be - Will appreciate any feedback as to whether that's productive (or counter-productive) at this point of the game.
Thanks all!

I wouldn't view a retake as being very reliable. That said, you have a very good score on the actual GMAT, so a 740 looks very "real".
Why don't you get some of the paid GMATPrep tests?

I read that doing more mock exams doesn't actually help you get better, and every time I did one it's quite a traumatizing experience - I would get a massive headache afterwards and lose the rest of day (and sometimes the following day too), so it's just not worth losing valuable studying time for. Also, I would have preferred not knowing what the predicted score is, since a big swing in either directions creates unnecessary emotions - The reason why I re-took the 2nd mock at all was to rehearse for the real thing, and I would have chose not to see the score if that was a choice.
Also now that I spent last few days thinking about whether that 740 is real or not, I came to conclude that there's really nothing I can do at this point, so I might as well go in thinking I am that level.
