In my case, i wasnt surprised. it depends on how familiar you are with the Powerprep tests. generally, if you take the powerprep tests, you will get a good idea of the real test experience.
Usually in math, you might have a good idea about how you did. but in verbal, uh-uh, its very hard to tell. I have known many guys who just could not beleive their verbal scores. Most of the times, in verbal, it is often a close call between two choices; three or four questions like that and you are left unsure of where you are.
My advice is to relax and take it ONE question at a time. concentrate on that question only. let the scoring algorithm worry about the score
we have a lot of tips and stuff on how to manage time and how to keep your cool. just check out the website.
hope this helps
