Hey all,
So I'm taking my GMAT this Friday... a few days ago I took a Princeton Review practice test and scored a 560. I'm shooting for a 700, so I was panicking and nearly cancelled my test. To try it again later in the day, I took a GMAT official practice test and got a 740. Is this just PR skewing scores to get you to buy more products? Should I be worried? Or should I take the GMAT official practice test to be more accurate and think that I should be close to my goal?
Thanks!

Hello ajs48,
It has been said around the forum that the Princeton practice tests aren't very accurate. At this point I would try not to be "worried" since you cannot get any refund or reschedule. It's definitely great news though that you scored a 740 on the GMAT Official Practice test though. That would definitely be better than the Princeton ones. With 5 days until, I would go ahead and try out another 2-3 exams in the meantime to grow some extra comfort. Otherwise, don't let the 560 bother you since most would disqualify those results.

I score 750 after getting a 740 on my second g,atprep, so think you are doing great and on the right track! Do not cancel (unless you saw a bunch of repeats and familiar questions on the GMAT prep).
Good luck on Friday - let us know how it goes.
