Dear Mates:
I will retake the GMAT on Saturday. Below is some info about my preparation.
Knewton course.
I enrolled in Knewton course in December last year and finished all their sessions, homework, and CATs.
Here are my CATs results:
Diagnostic GMAT 11/27/2010, Q35 V28 ---- 520
Practice GMAT #1 12/20/2010 Q42 V35 ---- 620
Practice GMAT #2 01/09/2011 Q43 V26 ----- 570
Practice GMAT #3 01/14/2011 Q37 V40 ----- 620
Practice GMAT #4 01/15/2011 Q44 V40 ------680
Practice GMAT #5 01/30/2011 Q38 V34 ------ 590
As you can see, the results are quite dispersive.
MGMAT CATs. I took three tests untimed and without AWAs and Verbal.
MGMAT 1 --- Q50
MGMAT 2----Q51
MGMAT 3 ----Q51
GMATprep software. I downloaded the software two weeks ago on a new computer. Because I took GMATprep tests around 6-7 months ago, I did not remember any questions/answers. Besides, there were no repetitions in Quants, but there were one familiar RC and a couple of CRs on both the tests (again, I did not remember any answers). Here are results:
GMATprep 1 -- Feb 9, 2011--- without AWA --- Q48 V40 -- 720
GMATprep 2 -- Feb 16, 2011 (today)-----with AWA -----Q49 V38 - 710
Now, with the two days left, I wonder if I need to take any more full-length tests. Maybe it is worth to take a test tomorrow and have a rest on Fri?
Any thoughts on the above, guys?
Will also appreciate any other recommendations/clues on how to proceed better.
Thank you!
Matt.

Awesome score on manhattan Quant. Just one advise - go through the error log. How is your Quant Vs Verbal? I see you scored less on Knewton but again on MGMAT you scored high on Quant.
(1) You see, my MGMAT quant scores are high because I took the test in un-timed mode. On some of the questions I had to spend around 10 minutes. So, they are not qute representative of the real score. I hope the real should be 47-48.
I read a lot of posts about Knewton scoring. Sometimes, their scoring system looks strange even to me. For example, in one of the CATs I made, maybe, seven mistakes in math and five mistakes (not consecutive!) in verbal, and still got a 590.
(2) Verbal is much weaker than quant, but in V I can consistently score 38 (+-2).
I decided to give another full-length tests to build up stamina for the real thing. Tomorrow I will have some rest.
Thanks.
Lets us know the score.
