First of all I wanted to thank you guys of the community for putting up quality material and insight and making them available to everyone.
I started my prep on Semptember, 1st and this morning I took my first full length mock test (the GMATPrep one). I scored 680 (44 Q, 40 V) which is a good score for me since my plan is to take the test in the first half of December and my target score is 650 (although a 700+ would be ideal).
The quant raw score is a bit low but I'm not worried about it beacuse most of my mistakes were avoidable and with still a month or so to go I'm confident that I'll be able to improve it.
What worries me is the verbal score. I finished the section with 10 minutes on the clock and I expected a disaster but it turned out that I did very well, especially for a non native speaker like me.
My questions are: is it possible that I encountered a very easy and/or anomalous batch of verbal questions? Is it possible that my score is just a result of luck and therefore I'll probably have a major dropoff in verbal in the next mock test?
I'll take my next mock test (this time one of the Manhattan ones) next week, if my verbal score isn't likely to be a fluke I'll focus exclusively on quant.

When considered with the fact that you finished before times, it is less likely to be a fluke.

The GAMT prep tests are the best predictors of an actual GMAT score. So, your verbal score is probably pretty accurate. Your actual GMAT may vary a bit, but it probably won't by too much.
Either way, you have a great verbal score and are on your way to doing very well on the GMAT. Best of luck.

, so i wouldnt worry about the verbal section for now. Just practice a few questions , go over the notes so you maintain your position in the verbal (and try to improve in areas where you feel you can). If you can get a 40-42 in Verbal, with a few months of hard studying in quant, there is a good chance you can go beyond 720-730 overall.
