Hi! So I already took real GMAT before and to my unpleasant surprise got 680, after consistently scoring 700+ on practice tests. After getting some advice on this forum about the way I should study and practice - such as not pausing tests, taking exact time, etc. - I worked for the last 4 weeks without practice tests, improving my fundamentals, and just now finished my practice test from GMAC.
Got 760, Q48 (First time I ever got 48, so I'm pumped), V46 (made 2 mistakes). I did not stop or pause the test, did not look up answers, did not take more time than in the real exam, did not use a calculator, took the test in 1 sitting and had an exact 8-minute break in between, during which I just sort of sat there. I feel like I should be happy about this, but I just feel even more worried now, because I already had a similar kind of result before real GMAT, which I f***cked up. From your personal experiences, can I assume that this is in some ways indicative of my current GMAT ability?
I know this whole post may seem like I'm just being a crybaby, but it's just that I've already been on the receiving end of overconfidence, and this makes me even more worried.

Hi
You can trust your score in the Gmatprep test, unless you have seen or attempted same questions earlier.
Assuming you did not see any repetitive question, you can rest assured.
Go through the error log and keep revising. All the best.

I got a 750 on my real exam but had gotten only as high as 740 on a practice. And I always cheated on my practices too (pausing, getting a snack, etc.). I wouldn’t worry. Go kill it!
