There was a RC question that I have seen before on CAT #3, My verbal was a 41 with something like 78% percentile in CR, 93% in RC, 96% in SC.
How much of a RC percentile boost did I receive by correctly answering 4 questions that I have already seen before? Logically, if I can answer 3 of 4 RC questions of similar difficulty correctly, would you guys say a 1 point boost is fair?
Also, I scored a 730 (50, 39) in MGMAT's free CAT and 750 (50,41) on the GMATPrep purchased exam #1. What is a realistic scoring range for me on D-day 6 days from now? I have already taken the day prior to my test off from work, as well as the day of. Is it a good idea to just relax on the day before my test? Or keep grinding till the end?
Thanks

Disclaimer, it is impossible to accurately estimate.
However, i would venture to guess that seeing 4 repeat questions is a substantial boost. I would say at least 5 points.
1. you get them right
2. you don't spend as much time (that has a positive impact on other questions, thus resulting into more correct answers)

Hi ggurface,
Seeing any number of repeat questions on a CAT can significantly impact your performance scores (and almost always leads to an 'inflated' score result). Since the scoring Algorithm on the Official GMAT is more complex than most people realize, there's no exact way to determine what those repeat questions did to your score (and it's never as simple as "I saw X repeat questions, so my score is Y points higher").
Based on your overall practice scores, assuming that you took your other CATs in a realistic and test-like fashion, you look to be in good position to score 700+ on Test Day. Remember that the GMAT will give you the score that you EARN, so you have to work hard to earn all of those points.
As a general rule, it's advisable not to do too much work in the final days leading up to your Official GMAT (so no "cramming" and no CATs). You'll be better served by keeping your studies 'light' and getting some extra rest.
