Trulyblessed...
here is my experience...I never got over 560 on PR tests...I always missed out 10 questions on my quant....timming was always bad....
I got a 640 on the real exam, I missed out on 5-6 questions on Quant...so timming was bad...plus PR got me in the bad habbit of solving all the problems...the numbers in PR exams ( i mean PR 2005) are just to calculations intensive...
on the other hand...my Kaplan CATs scores ranged upto 700....why cause I would complete quant section...why, cause in more advanced quant questions on Kaplan I had to use logic...PR doesnt capture that...on the real exam I noticed I got away with using logic....It was my mistake that I didnt do Kaplan CAT before my real GMAT...
so do yourself a favor and stop doing PR CATs...they are good if you want to score mid 600s..if you want to score higher...do Kaplan CATS, you will get to use some logic on math.......
on the other hand. PRs verbal is right on, I used to score 34 on my Verbal, and thats what I got on the real exam....since you are going to give your exam in a few days...just do PowerPrep....thats all you need...trust me...
