I've been taking the GMATPrep practice test through the official GMAT program available from the MBA website -- I took the two that came with my Offical 2016 GMAT Quant review book, and purchased 2 more for $49.99 on the GMAT Wiley website.
I've scored a:
710
700
730
680
How accurate, in your opinion, do these results hold to the actual test? My results are heavily skewed with my Verbal/IR resuts -- I'm 99th percentile in both Verbal and IR, and only 64th percentile in the quant. I'm taking my test TOMORROW and have only studied for like, maybe twenty hours max. I combed through the Quant review and answered all the practice questions, but that's it. I didn't study the verbal at all, I figured since I'm an avid reader I'd do just fine.
I'm a little freaked out because although I haven't studied much (the first time I took it and got a 710 was before I ever started studying, I took it as a baseline). The MBA program I'm interested in isn't "top tier" at all, so really anything over a 550 and I'll be just fine (Florida State).
I think, and many others have experienced, that GMATPrep and it's score algorithm are quite similar to the actual test. Of course not 100% the same but about 80%-90%. So no need to worry that your score at actual test could be below 550.
I would like to ask you one question. How could you gain 99th oercentile in Verbal while you didn't study the verbal at all? Could you share your exp?
