Hello experts,
I am preparing for GMAT for about an year now.
I have recently given 3 800score mocks and scored 720, 700, 730 resp.
I also gave a magoosh practice test and got 630 (V34
I also gave GMAT Prep tests and got 700+ with repeat questions (So, i dont think this is a reliable score)
My target score is 740.
My Quant scores range from 47-50
My verbal scores range from 28-41 (Depending on the source)
Scores were very low in Magoosh and Economist practice tests and very good in 800score tests.
My exam is in 15 days...I am not sure if i should give the exam or reschedule it only because my verbal scores are so sporadic..
My SC ability is about 75-80%
CR ability 55-60%
RC ability is 70%
EMPOWERgmat Rich C any guidance from you would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

You should stick to GMATPrep mocks as their the most reliable indicator of your current skills, and the best predictor of the final GMAT Score.

Hi zeniamehta,
The scoring algorithm on the Official GMAT is far more complicated than most people realize. Since that algorithm is proprietary, no GMAT company has an exact match for it, thus CAT scores can vary a bit based on the 'biases' involved in their respective designs. The most realistic CATs available are the 6 from GMAC, but retaking a CAT that you've already taken is NOT a realistic way to assess your skills. Seeing even a few 'repeat' questions can 'throw off' the Scoring Algorithm and impact your pacing, energy levels, fatigue, etc. (meaning that they would likely all be better than they normally would be). Thankfully, the CATs from Kaplan, MGMAT and Veritas are all 'close enough' to the real thing that they will provide you with a relatively realistic score assessment (assuming that you use the CAT correctly). Thus, if you've already used the 6 Official CATs, then you should consider using CATs from one of those 3 sources next.
Since there is a bit of a 'swing' in the CAT Scores that you listed, I'd like to know more about all of the CATs that you've taken so far:
1) On what dates did you take each of your CATs, what "brand" was each and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?
2) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?
3) Did you take them at home?
4) Did you take them at the same time of day as when you plan to take your Official GMAT?
5) Did you ever do ANYTHING during your CATs that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, skip sections, take longer breaks, etc.)?
6) Did you ever take a CAT more than once? Had you seen any of the questions BEFORE (re: on a prior CAT, in an online forum or in a practice set)?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
