Hi everyone,
I had given GMAT, a year back and scored a 700 (Q49, V36). i was preparing over the last month to retake the exam. I took it just today and shockingly managed a 650 (Q49, V30). I've taken GMAT Prep mocks along with some of Manhattan, Veritas and Kaplan free mocks.
GMAT Preps Dates Total Q/V
GMAT Prep 6 05/09/18 750 50/40
GMAT Prep 5 03/09/18 760 50/44
GMAT Prep 4 27/08/18 730 49/41
GMAT Prep 3 21/08/18 750 51/40
GMAT Prep 2 17/08/18 750 50/41
All my GMAT Prep mock scores ranged from (730- 750) as shown above, whereas the Manhattan mock scores ranged from (670-690), with Veritas and Kaplan free mocks being 700 and 710 respectively. All tests were taken in actual-like testing conditions. I was taking the GMAT Prep test scores as a standard and was fairly confident of my scores. I'm pretty sure that I wasn't under too much of test anxiety though I still can't believe the 650 I got! I obviously cancelled the score since the 700, I got a year back is way better. I'm still waiting on my ESR though I'm also not sure whether I should just retake the test once more. I NEVER got as low a V30 in any mock. Has this happened to anyone before (Almost a 100 point drop from GMAT Prep scores)? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hey buddy,
very sorry to hear that. As you mentioned that all test were taken in exam like condition, is there anything else but the stress you can think of that could have atrributed to a lower than expected score?
Furthermore, was there any specific category in Verbal that was particularly hard?
Regards and all the best,
Chris

Nopes, nothing significant really. There was a little bit of disturbance initially in the test center. But I honestly don't think it was significant enough to have caused such disruption in my scores. I had not the slightest of clue that my verbal went this bad until the score popped out. It's almost like I'd rather believe the scoring algorithm messed up.
