Currently, I am solving the questions from 'the comprehensive collection of GMAT prep Questions'. I feel myself to be fairly okay as I am able to solve 80% of the questions. All of sudden, I come across a lot of posts yesterday where people explain their real GMAT experience as some kind of more tougher than GMAT prep questions.
My confidence got shattered and now I am in fear At first, I thought I am fairly good, as I am able to solve GMAT prep questions well, but after seeing such posts, NOW I doubt myself about my position. What I usually use to do is solve a problem, analyze the methodology and make sure to remember it. I wonder whether this is the correct strategy to do so.
I request experts to please answer the following questions.
1.) Why some students do good in GMAT prep and screw themselves in real GMAT. Could there be any other reasons, apart from being nervous? (I read people score 700 in GMAT prep and screw in real GMAT)
2.) IF there is any reason (other than BEING nervous) for students excelling in GMAT prep and screw in real GMAT, please list it down and suggest how to overcome it.
3.) Will the real GMAT much tougher than the GMAT Prep? Can I expect like 50% of difficult questions in real GMAT?

Hi prav04,
There's a big difference between working through individual practice questions or practice sets - especially if you know the 'category' of what you'll be working on before you actually begin - and working through a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT taken under realistic conditions. Test Day is a rather specific 'event' - and there are a variety of different aspects to Test Day that many Test Takers simply do not prepare for. Whether any of those factors should be a concern for you or not depends a great deal on how you've been training for the GMAT.
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
