Hello everyone! This is my first post in the forum so please bare with me if I made any mistake. I am planning to take the test in a week, but I am not quite sure yet. Let me explain why.
I took the first of the two free official tests and I didn't answer around a third of the quant section, getting 650 (Q39, V40, IR4), so I decided to reset the tests and do them again. After the reset, I got in the first test 690 (Q47, V38, IR7) and in the second 690 (Q44, V40, IR8). I know they are inflated in some degree due to seeing some of the questions again. However, I took the first test of the Exam Pack 1 and I got 700 (Q44, V41, IR6) without answering all the questions in quant (31 answered and the 32nd just selected a bubble before time was up), answered all verbal just in time with 22" left and answered 10/12 in IR.
So my question is, how reliable of an indicator is my third test? I did the free tests after completing the OG, and the 3rd after completing the OG bundle (official guide, verbal and quantitative review). Did it take into account that I didn't answer 5 questions? I know that the unanswered questions receive the biggest penalty and the "strings" of incorrect answers the second one (I had two consecutive incorrect answers in quant and two strings in verbal, namely 3-6 and 36-38). So, does my 700 take into account those "strings" and the unanswered questions of the quant section or not? Thanks for your time in advance.

Hey geo1230
The third test(GMATPrep - EP1 - Test1 seems like a reliable indicator of where you stand right now.
I am almost certain that the 6 unanswered questions have been accounted for. From what I have
heard, the scores drop by about 2-3 points at least if you don't finish the test.
IMO, you should be in the Q46-47 range. With a V41 you are looking at an awesome GMAT score.
However, I think you should take another test(in the next week or so) before taking a final call
on the date. In the meanwhile, work on all the official questions you could get your hands on.
And most importantly, make sure you finish the test this time around
Last but not the least, this is a post which i think will definitely benefit you right now

Once you have a score in that final test you can book the exam.
Do let us know how it goes for you and hope this is of some help to you!

Hi geo1230,
I think you're doing great so far. It is important though to finish all the questions on time. So it is crucial to answer all the questions even if you don't get them right.
Here are some threads you might find useful:

Good luck!
