Hi Friends --
I could use your opinion.
I took two Manhattan GMAT tests the first week in August and the second week in August and received a 700 on both. This last Sunday, I took my first GMAT prep exam and scored a 740 (Q48-V44) although I did see some verbal repeats. I took my second GMAT prep test yesterday night and scored a 650! I just tanked in Math (Q39-V40). The only difference between the two tests was that I practiced the writing section last night. Do you think that could really contribute to such a significant decrease in my score? Any thoughts? I am really nervous about this score decrease because my test is scheduled for this coming Thursday.
Please let me know what you think. Do you think I should take additional tests every day from now until the test to increase my test taking stamina? Do you think I should postpone my test? Thanks in advance for you insight!

You should definitely write the AWA essays before the test.
I would take another test in a day or two. It is "normal" to fluctuate 40 points from day-to-day - that's the standard error on the test.

Always take the AWA with the practice test. Always. The GMAT is an endurance test too. And those repeat questions in verbal probably inflated your score.
Did you take the GMATPrep tests at different times of the day? You mentioned that the second test was at night. That could have negatively influenced your score.
