Hi all,
It feels like I've been studying for an eternity, and I just want to gauge how close I am to the score I need.
I've taken 2 practice tests. The GMAC one and Veritas Prep.
On GMAC my score was:
IR: 3
Q: 42
V: 44
Total:700
On Vertias Prep my score was:
IR:5
Q: 46
V: 38
Total: 680
My stretch goal is 726. (Booth MBA Average score)
The goal I'd settle for is 707. (Leeds PHD Entrepreneurship Program Average Score)
If I could just combine my Verbal from GMAC and my Quantitative from Veritas I'd hit my stretch goal!
How close am I to hitting my score I need? I feel like I had poor time management when I took the GMAC quant section. Should I use the last GMAC test now or save it, because I'm a long way off?

Hi alextaylor116,
To start, the overall GMAT score is in 10-point increments, so you can't end up with a 707 or 726. As such, I'll assume you mean that your goals are 710/730.
GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/-30 points of actual ability. Assuming a similar 'swing' in how your CATs function, your CAT score results show that you're relatively close to your goals. At higher and higher scoring levels, the GMAT becomes really 'sensitive' to little mistakes - if you make too many, then there will be a limit to how high you can score. When reviewing each CAT, it's important to try define WHY you got questions wrong. How many questions did you get wrong....
1) Because of a silly/little mistake?
2) Because there was some math/verbal that you just didn't know how to do?
3) Because the question was too hard?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Just how long have you been studying, and just how much longer are you planning to study for your GMAT?
It's not too important to "hoard" the GMATPrep tests now that exam pack 2 is also out, but (depending on how long you plan on studying), you might want to think about either taking the exam slightly sooner or aiming for a higher than average score. Your V44 is excellent, and you should be positive on pulling your quant up from that 50% score.
