I took the GMATPrep1 today and scored 700. Q 49 , V37. Did a few silly mistakes in both. And could have scored a bit more.
But overall, the level of difficulty of Verbal in GMATPrep1 was simple. Or may be because i got a RC which i had already solved in
OG .
Does anybody agree to me on this ? Will the Verbal be more tough than this ? Or same as this ?
How much variation did test takers see in their scores Vs the GMATPrep1 scores ?
I have a GMAT scheduled for 5th Aug. I hope i can touch 700 in the real test as well.
GMATPrep is the most accurate indicator of your true ability. If you can score 700+ on GMATPrep2, you should feel confident that you will get a 700+ on test day (assuming you can stay calm throughout the exam).
Your analysis of the GMAT Verbal section is a bit dangerous and inaccurate. You scored V37, so you didn't see very many of the most difficult questions. There's a significant difference between the difficulty of questions at the V37 level and the those at the V45 level, which is why V45 is in the ~98th percentile. You can benefit greatly by simply practicing all three areas in the Verbal section, but you'll see an even greater improvement if you study the underlying rules of sentence correction with a book like
MGMAT SC.
Most test takers underestimate the difficulty of the Verbal section - don't let that happen to you
