GMAT brightest mind contest vs Real gmat

Question

Dear all,

I participated the economist brightest mind test contest and I scored 750.

It is a unbelievable highscore for my standard, as I usually score 600+/-. 
Not to mention that I have never scored higher than 590 on the actual gmat.

I did practice a lot, but still a score of 750 seems to good to be true.

How do you guys score on the brightest mind test vs the actual gmat?

Please help me out! I need to know what I could possibly score on the actual gmat.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Rico

Hi Lengtjai,

Although most of the preparatory companies have a fairly accurate assesment through the CATs, the best one comes with a GMAT Prep CAT.
I would recommend you to sit for a GMAT Prep Mock CAT to find out your real standing.

Also, what is your target GMAT score?

Thanks for your quick reply!
Yes, that is a good idea. But till so far I have exhausted the two gmat prep exams long time ago, like half a year ago. I scored 590/600.

I scored on the actual gmat 590 three months ago and I need to score atleast 600. I am close, but everytime i screwed up because i was too nervous. 
However, I did re-do the gmat prep exams and i scored 640, I did remember some verbal questions but not the answers. So I am not sure if that is still an accurate assessment.

Hi,

Retaking a test may be good for your practice and building your stamina, but it is not a good representative of your current standing.
You can buy the Exam Pack1 from mba.com. That will give you two additional practice tests so that you can prepare yourself for the GMAT.

All the best.
