Just come back from the test center: 690 (Q47 V38). Since my performance was quite normal, I think the exam pack's scores are rather inflated. If not the quant, at least the verbal..nevertheless during the test I didn't notice anything too different from gmatprep.

These are my GmatPrep scores (respectively Exam 1,2,3,4) taken exactly in one month (between the second and the third I started the e-gmat course):
07/02 650 Q47 V32
18/02 680 Q49 V34
01/03 710 Q48 V40
07/03 750 Q49 V42

So yeah, seems like my real score is less than the average of my 4 last mocks, despite having improved a lot between the first and the last two.

Did I underperform? I cannot really understand if this was a normal decrease.


Congrats on a great score. I had a Q48, V44 split when I got 760 on the 4th GMAT prep exam. It does seem to me that the verbal was relatively easier or inflated. My Q score on test day was the same, but Verbal was tougher (got a V39 on the real test).

I am in the same boat, wondering if I just underperformed on the real test and am actually capable of better, or if the 3rd and 4th tests were less difficult overall.
