At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

I gave a Veritas prep test today. My scores are :
Quant - 50
verbal - 35
Overall - 690.
I've given few kaplan, the economist, and GmatPrep test 1 and scored in each of them above 710. This VeritasPrep result is a shocker for me. I faced time constraint in the last 7-8 questions for quant section and got them wrong. The verbal score is not what I was expecting. I was expecting a near 40.
I have my GMAT exam in < 3 weeks. Please help and provide feedback.

With just 3 weeks left for the exam, I would recommend you to stick to the official tests only.
The veritas prep tests are excellent, but no pre company can mimic the official test.
In addition, SC: The questions test various concepts such as S-V agreement, modifiers, parallelism etc. Find out what troubles you.
CR: There might be certain types of questions that are troubling you. May be Assumption, may be conclusion, inference etc.
You need to find that out and then practice them
RC: This again can be drilled down into different types of questions and also different topics. See what questions and topics trouble you the most and then practice accordingly.
Quants: Again try to break the questions in topics such as Algebra, Number system (very important), Geometry, PnC etc.
Start preparing an error log (if you have not already done so) and keep a note of all the mistakes you made and the lessons you learnt from the problems. This will ensure you do not make the same mistake again.

Hi RaghavSingla,
Practice CAT scores are only as realistic as YOU make the process of taking the CAT. The more the 'CAT-taking event' deviates from what you'll face on Test Day, the more likely the score is to be inaccurate (and in most cases, that means "inflated").
Here are some details to consider: When you took each of your CATs...
1) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)?
2) Did you take it at home?
3) Did you take it at the same time of day as your Official GMAT?
4) Did you do ANYTHING during this CAT that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, listen to music, etc.)?
5) Were you retaking a CAT that you had already taken? Had you seen any of the questions BEFORE?
All things being equal, scores in the 690+ range are all fantastic, so you likely have little to worry about. At your scoring level, the GMAT becomes really 'sensitive' to little mistakes though - if you make too many, then that ultra-high score simply becomes impossible to achieve.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
