I'm taking my GMAT soon. Trying to gauge what I can expect my score to be based on results from doing the GMAC practice tests. Would love to know the experience you guys had and how you scored on the official test vs. the GMAC prep tests.
I did all 4 GMAC Exam Prep tests (the 2 free ones and then I bought the test pack with 2 new tests). Here are my results:
Test 1: no studying really, just at the beginning of starting my prep
610 - 74%
M39 / 48%
V35 / 74%
Test 2: after I finished my prep course. About 6 weeks later.
680 - 85%
M49 - 83%
V33 - 67%
Test 3: few weeks after test 2. focused a lot on verbal before taking this test. was running low on time at the end of the quant and verbal sections. guessed maybe the last 2-3 questions in each section.
710 - 92%
M47 - 73%
V40 - 90%
Test 4: two days after test 3. my brain felt like mush. this test felt a lot harder than test 3, and i had all my reading comp passages early on, which sucked up a lot of time. I ended up running out of time in the verbal section by question 36, so guessed on 37-41, which i got wrong. on quant, i was also lowish on time but only guessed on the last question (got wrong)
690 - 87%
M47 - 73%
V37 - 81%
What do you guys think my score will look like on the actual GMAT? In your experience, has the test been harder/easier than the practice tests?

GMAT Prep CATs are the best predictors of your preparation.
You actual score should be in the same range. However, you can certainly gain some points by following certain test taking practices:
1. Do not think about the final score at any point of time
2. Once done with a section forget about it and concentrate on the next one.
3. Take both the breaks. It helps you to freshen up
4. Take a note of the time when you are out for break. Do not exceed the break
5. Do not rush through the last 5 questions in the verbal sections in a bid to see your final score
When is your GMAT scheduled?
In the last few days upto the GMAT, make sure you go through the error log/incorrect problems and understand the reason why you got them wrong.
All the best!

Hi nycgirl212,
The 'accuracy' of a CAT score is based heavily on how realistically YOU choose to make the CAT. If you skip sections, pause the Test, take it at home, take it at a different time of day as your Official GMAT, do anything else that is unrealistic, etc., then your score is likely to be less accurate. Your last 3 CAT scores seem to show an overall ability in the high-600s, but until you define the 'parameters' in how you took these CATS, we can't know how accurate (or 'inflated') these scores really are.
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
