Hi guys, finally I'm confortable to tell my story here. I'd been studying for the gmat since August and finally faced it yesterday.
Here's my story:
15 Aug - Gmat Prep (diagnosis): 600
01 Oct - Gmat Prep (after the OG and attending a prep course - MBA House (Brasil)): 700
20 Oct - Mock test (past tests): 660
23 Oct - Mock test (past tests): 680
10 Nov - Gmat Prep (first pool again): 680
17 Nov - Manhattan Prep CAT: 590
25 Nov - Manhattan Prep CAT: 590
2 Dec - GMAT: 710 (Q47, V40)
After I took my first MGMAT I got really worried, really tense, stressed. I looked for everywhere about its difficulty. If it was harder. I felt it harder. Really harder.
After the second one, I though everything I had done so far had been useless, that I was going to fail. Lost my confidence.
I decided not to take any mock until the day of the test, focus on reviewing the topics, and doing specific exercises.
And then I got the best book ever: Cracking The Gmat.
One day before, I did the practice questions of the GMAT Prep software. And I got 93% of them right. This kinda build up my confidence again.
And that was it. Just did a couple questions in the morning prior to the test, just to get things running, without looking the answers.

That's quite the difference.. I've noticed the MGMATs are excessively difficult as well and score 720 on GMATprep, 730 Veritas, and can't crack 650 on MGMAT.
On the upside if you cross 7XX on MGMAT you're likely to be well into the 700s on exam day but on the downside they're a poor proxy for performance. It would be nice if they actually mentioned this online but I sense they don't so people think 'crap I need help... better sign up w/ Manhattan as i'm on their site already'.
Anyway congrats on the 710! That should get your essay's read
