I took GMAT Prep Test #1 after a thorough review of PR Cracking the GMAT as a basic overview of the test, since I have been out of college for a long time.
I need help in interpreting my results and suggestions for improving it.
Here is the results I got (unofficial score at the end of the downloaded CAT).
Overall Score: 680 Target: >720
Math: Raw Score - 44 --> 11/34 Incorrect (#13, 20, 22, 23, 24, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34) and 3 unanswered (ran out of time)!
I was running out of time after #25, so did not use scratch pad (no work), got stuck on #28 and had to do blind guesses for #30 through #34 and
could not answer #35, #36 & #37.
The last five (#29 through #34) were quite simple and I could solve it in less then 45 seconds each during the review.
Verbal: Raw Score - 38 --> 12/41 Incorrect (#2, 11, 12, 14, 15, 19, 21, 22, 25, 28, 32, 41) and finished before the time limit.
The break up of the incorrect answers was: 7 SC, 3 CR and 2 RC. Looks like I need to focus on SC, followed by CR.
I would like some help in interpreting my scores.
How much did I lose on Math because of 3 unanswered questions?
How much damage did the last 5 incorrects (#29 - #34) did?
For Verbal section, how do I interpret the impact of pattern of incorrects on the raw score? I need to get 42 or better!
Any help/suggestions?

CDM770234 it sounds like you're in a good position.
Missing questions really hurts, and so does rushing questions. You should be able to see decent improvement with some time management work.

The number of questions which you answered incorrectly does not impact the raw score as much as the difficulty level of the questions which you answered incorrectly does.
A score of 44 represents the following (strictly my interpretation):
1. The test taker is comfortable with 60% of the tested concepts.
2. The test taker has not adopted good time management practices.
To boost your score to the next level (47 to 48), you need to:
1. Focus on solving problems of different types in order to familiarize oneself with the different ways in which the concepts are tested.
2. Time all future practice questions.
There are detailed articles on timing and other test strategies, please glance through them aswell!
