I scored 780 (50Q, 47V, 8IR).
Materials used for study:
- OG12
- Manhattan series for Sentence Correction
- 2 GMATprep tests
- 2 Manhattan prep tests
My experience with practice and testing was that my score was really influenced by how I did on verbal. I typically hit a ceiling in quant both in practice and testing where I couldn't improve beyond 33 correct answers. What surprised me most was the better I did on verbal in the actual test, the questions were getting significantly more difficult than what I had seen before in practice. My takeaway is that its easier to get a high score in Q, but then beyond a certain ceiling there are diminishing returns for efforts put in. It's probably more worthwhile to put extra efforts in Verbal where its difficult to reach to the same level. My 2 cents.

Excellent score, and with only 4 practice tests! You were definitely making the GMAT give you very difficult questions.

Interesting, maybe GMAC is augmenting its overall scoring/testing algorithm to incorporate a higher difficulty ceiling (which would presumably better normalize score distribution, especially in Quant, and penalize less for wrong answers). Purely speculation 
Great score, incredible!
