Hi guys,
So iv'e been studying for the last 90 days for the gmat with the Kaplan self paced pack, and things going well and by the plan.
Economist CAT: 590, Q44, V26
Kaplan:
#1CAT: 650, Q47, V32
#2CAT: 610, Q46, V27
#3CAT: 670, Q47, V35
#4CAT: 660, Q48, V33
#5CAT: 660, Q46, V34
#6CAT: 680, Q46, V37
my goal is 700, and i have another month to study. I feel confident since there are planty of subjects on the verbal section that i still don't know. But than yesterday i took a GMATprep CAT, which, correct me if i'm wrong, suppose to be just like a real test, and i got 600 (Q48, V25). I felt like i'm not very sharp, but my verbal score was so bad. The kaplan pack helped me with my math, though i allready was not bad with it, but i'm affraid my verbal progress on Kaplan's CATS is not reflecting real progress. What would you reccomand? i'm an israeli with an overall good english but i sucked in verbal also on the psychometry (like SAT, in hebrew. eventually hit the 700 so i thought i could make it also on the GMAT). Should i check one of those verbal for non english natives courses? Is kaplan known for being less accurate with the verbal section? Please share your thoughts.
Thanks, Assaf.

Hi assaffff,
GMAC has publicly stated that a Test Taker's Official Score is within +- 30 points of actual ability. Assuming a similar 'swing' in how these CATs function, 5 of your Kaplan CATs fall within 30 points of one another - this means that you essentially performed the same way on these CATs. The GMAC CAT that you took had a lower Verbal score, so we should examine how you took each your CATs (for comparison purposes):
When you took your CATs:
1) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?
2) Did you take them at home?
3) Did you take them at the same time of day?
4) Did you ever do ANYTHING during your CATs that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, skip sections, take longer breaks, etc.)?
5) Did you ever take a CAT more than once?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

I'm not sure how representative your other tests are, but maybe you'd like to focus on your GMATPreps after working through all the verbal concepts that you haven't looked at yet.
