Just a quick update on my end...
I took the GMAT today and I scored a 650. I think the score breakout said 42, maybe 43 for Quant (72%?) and a 37 for Verbal (82%). I don't really know how to feel, but I just wanted to give everyone a quick synopsis of how the test went.
I woke up this morning after 11 or so hours of sleep and did 3-4 medium-difficulty questions just to warm up my mind, while I had breakfast. I arrived at the test center and reviewed some basic things before I went in.
AWA: No surprises here. For the issue, something about the best way to manage an enterprise.... As for the argument, there was something related to commuter buses. I think the two may be in the published ETS list.
Quant: First question was an easy decimal question. Second was a decent DS question, and the rest became a blur. There were some wordy DS questions, 2 geometry questions dealing with triangles, a LOT of number property questions, 1 permutation and 1 probability question (nailed them both). By the 20th or so question, I got a really easy number property question and became worried about how I was doing. I took a minute to calm myself and reminded myself that some questions are experimental. I was running low on time, so the last 7-8 questions, I was going through as quickly as possible. By the end of it, I thought about cancelling the score (so unlike me!).
Took the break, and told myself just to worry about the Math and just to concentrate on the Verbal.
Verbal: The first 2-3 questions were decent. By the 4th question, I had some killer RC with 60 lines. I spent a little extra time on this and moved on. Nothing out of the ordinary for SC or CR. I ended with another RC around the 15th question and a 40 liner right after it. The next thing I know, I have less than 1.5 minutes to answer 20 or so questions. I picked up the speed a bit and right around the 30th question, I could hear the landscapers working outside. To top it off, I got a 40 liner RC around the 33rd question. I'm sure I lost focus towards the end, and I finished the remaining question with 20 seconds left.
Clicked through all the nonsense and the score popped up. I didn't know what to think, so I just went to the proctor to get the score sheet. With my luck, their printer wasn't working!!! So, I left there without the score sheet, but I did see my name on the ETS electronic roster saying that I did complete the exam.
I guess I will just have to wait 10 days before I get the actual paper in my hand.
I think I will send my score out as is to the schools I plan on applying to and then take the exam in December. If I do better, I will send the updated report, if not, no worries.
My practice scores:
ARCO 1 - 590
ARCO 2 - 620
ARCO 3 - 640
Gmat Prep 1 - 640
Gmat Prep 2 - 650

Congrats! That's a good score. You should be competitive at most schools.
Good thing is, more practice can definitely improve your Q score (I guess it is easier to improve on Q than V in a short time). Next time, maybe you can also try out Kaplan and Powerprep tests.

chief...good score...but quant killed your chances of getting a 700+
if you had scored close to 48 on quant you would easily have scored 700..
how hard was the quant with respect to gmatprep?
what were your breakout score on gmatprep? powerprep?
my suggestion, and I wont say that your quant skills were excellent but that your skills are decent to get you close 46+...you should focus on reading your question carefully...the reason I think most of cant score higher is that we dont read the question properly...so with a little more attentive attitude in the exam...I think you can easily ace it next time...you are there..its just that you need to adjust your mental focus during the exam...watchout for those little things...concept wise you are set...just need to get your alertness tuned for gmat..
