I want to know
1. how accurate this score? 800 score CAT is a little bit more tough for Q section than is the real GMAT. However, I will ask you not to decide or think based on one CAT result.
2. This is the test I have written before begining my GMAT preparation. How can I improve it and how much improvement is possible. Well, sky is the limit. If before beginning your preparation, you have scored Q38, I can say with surity that you can reach Q48 (atleast) with a good study plan & efffort.

IMO the main problem with 800 score tests is that problems are often unGMAT-like. It's not what you'll get on exam.

Regarding 2nd question - quant score can be improved relatively easily, verbal though may pose serious difficulties

Use MGMAT CATs, they are probably the best (with excellent explanations).

By the end of your preparation do GmatPrep - it will give the most accurate assessment of your strength.
