You have a few months in which to improve your score, so that's great. Since you took the exam already, you know exactly what to expect. Now you can focus on your areas of academic weakness as well as improve your test taking skills. Have you determined yet what your areas of weakness are? Taking sim tests are a great way to do this. I improved 60 points from the first time I took the GMAT, and I still firmly believe that it's just because I figured out that I am terrible at geometry problems and needed to brush up on this one area! So improving over 100 points, while difficult, may be possible -- as long as you figure out just where to devote your time and energy.

I tried to focus my weak area but my problem is that I did a lot worst on the real exam that on the sim test! The day before the exam I scored 680 on the GMATPrep... Are those easier than the real thing (I though it was approximatively the same but...)?
How sad that they don't give us the correction of what we did on the real GMAT so we could see what went wrong!

I agree that the GMAT should give you a good breakdown of what questions you have gotten wrong and why. Let's hope that they can implement that in the future!

It is possible that one exam may be off just because of where you made your mistakes rather than how many. But in general, students should score within about +/- 30 points or so from what they get on simulation tests and the GMAT test preps.
