Hey guys,
I have my test in two weeks and was able to score a 730 (Q49/V41) on both provided GMAT Prep tests. I am wanting more practice to ensure that I get a 730 on the actual GMAT, but realistically only have time to complete two more CATs. Can you guys give feedback on whether you recommend Prep Pack 1 or Prep Pack 2 for the final two CATs I complete? I am just worried that the two originally provided prep tests aren't that representative of the level of difficulty of the current GMAT since they were published 5+ years ago.
Thanks for the help!

Hi JLAR2017,
To start, both of those CAT scores are outstanding, so you almost certainly have the necessary knowledge to score at a high level on the Official GMAT.
The 'accuracy' of a CAT score is based a great deal on how realistic YOU choose to make the CAT. If you skip sections, pause the Test, take it at home, take it at a different time of day as your Official GMAT, do anything else that is unrealistic, etc., then your score is likely to be less accurate.
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 as your Official GMAT?
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? Had you seen any of the questions BEFORE?
