Hi all,
I have taken a few online CATs and wanted to know which one is the most accurate.
Date Source Score Quant Verbal
1-Jun Kaplan 590 46 21
17-Jun GMATPrep 590 42 30
22-Jun Kaplan 680
24-Jun MGMAT 630 41 35
28-Jun Vertias Prep 710 48 39
29-Jun GMATPrep 610 46 28
I did run out of time on my last GMATPrep, but I usually run out of time on verbal anyways. I thought my score was improving until the last GMATPrep. Anyone experienced a similar situation? This last setback is a 100 pt difference and is making me worried as I am taking my GMATs next month and was hoping for a 700ish score.
Does anyone have an good techniques for Verbal timing? I tried benchmarking but I get struck on questions that I "think" I know and end up spending more time on those. In addition, I get lost in the passages for RC. Thank you.

Wow, those scores have fluctuated quite a bit! Make sure you debrief after each of the exams. It doesn't matter so much what your predicted score is but that you learn from the mistakes you made.
You can improve your study strategy immensely by simply debriefing after each simulation test. Debriefing means taking the time to examine your score assessment and using the information to develop a strategic plan for improving your score.
You should conduct a debriefing soon after each test while the test questions are still fresh in your mind. A good debriefing can take almost as long as the test itself.
After you complete a sim test with Economist GMAT Tutor, visit your learning dashboard to receive a breakdown of your score and get a sense of your areas of strength and weakness.
Look at each question in your score assessment carefully, and determine why you answered it correctly or not. If you answered it incorrectly, what could you have done differently? It’s no use making sweeping statements like “I will pay more attention during studying.” It’s much more valuable to tell yourself tips like “I must remember to plug in negative and positive numbers in inequalities.”
Also, take a look at your time management strategy. Which types of questions took longer? On which questions did you spend too little time?
Another tip: look for recurring patterns within each test. Do your areas of weakness remain the same from test to test? If so, you may not be reviewing these topics properly. This may be a sign that you should schedule a one-to-one tutor session about this subject.
Don’t forget to document your debriefing sessions so you can read your notes before your next simulation test. Good luck!
