Hey all,
I took the GMAT Pill free test and got a measly 580 (62nd %ile). I got a Q 36 (48%ile) and V 33 (68%ile). I went through some of the old posts, but they didn't provide me a clear answer as to how accurate GMATPill is in predicting your actual score.
I have read through threads where people say 'nothing is going to be as accurate as Official GMAT Prep, etc. etc.'. I just want to know how I should understand my GMAT pill score. Could someone who took this comment on how well you ended up doing in the real test? What did you get in this one?
Here are all the tests I have taken thus far:
October 30, 2016 - GMAT Prep 1 - 690
December 11, 2016 - GMAT Prep 2 - 710
December 18, 2016 - Kaplan 2 - 650
December 30, 2016 - Kaplan 1 - 690
January 8, 2017 - GMAT Pill - 580
I am taking the test on the 28th of January for the first time and hoping to break 700 during that try. Please tell me what other tests I should try. I have Princeton tests, 3 more Kaplan tests , and Veritas free test at my disposal. I don't really want to purchase any tests at this point. Thank you for your help and suggestions.

Hi jbarcelona,
Based on your prior practice CAT scores, something appears "off" about this most recent score. That might mean that there's something inaccurate about this recent Test or it might mean that there was some significant factor (or multiple factors) that influenced your performance. Since you haven't provided much information beyond your overall CAT scores, I have a few questions about how you took these CATS:
1) What were the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores on each of these CATs?
2) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?
3) Did you take them at home?
4) Did you take them at the same time of day as your Official GMAT?
5) Did you ever do ANYTHING during your CATs that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, skip sections, take longer breaks, etc.)?
6) Did you ever take a CAT more than once? Had you seen any of the questions BEFORE?

Hi,
I didn't do anything differently. In all of those tests, I took the essay and IR sections. The GMAT pill doesn't have an essay, so I timed and wrote one essay on the side in a google doc. I took the tests at roughly the same time in the day.
My Q score was never less than 44 before and the lowest verbal score was 34. Although, they happened in different tests, not on the same one. Since I work on weekdays its nearly impossible for me to take a full-length test anytime other than the weekends. I feel like GMATPill wasted an important weekend before the tests for me.
Thanks for your time!
