On Friday night, three months of preparation will culminate in my exam. I have gone from not knowing anything (forgetting long division and multiplication practiacally!) to being fairly competitive on the quant, and my verbal has always seemed strongish (just luck...born and raised in the US with an English professor mother).
So anyway, I'm going to list my scores here. Could you guys give me an opinion on how you think I'll do from past publishers?
GMATPrep 1: 650 (q 42, v 37)
PR 1: 640 (q 37, v 41)
PR 2: 670 (q 44, v 39)
PR 3: 680 (q 44, v 40)
Kaplan 1: 550 (? I was disgusted and forget)
Kaplan 2: 560 (same)
PowerPrep 1: 680 (q 43, v 40)
PR 4: 650 (q 39, v 41)
PowerPrep 2: 710 (q 44, v 42)
GMATPrep 2: 700 (q43, v 42)
I also took the math section only on the old paper tests and scored in the range of 42-48, but the higher numbers were on ridiculously easy tests.
So what are my chances of getting a trophy? My only 700 scores have come last night and tonight, and the good news seems to be that except for the PR 4, my scores have been increasing. I'm not going to lie...I did see some questions on the later tests that I had seen before, but only in the verbals, and this just served as a time saver. I even got one wrong tonight, thinking that I had gotten it correctly on a PP when really is was an omit that I was proven wrong on tonight! So that backfired.
Anyway, if I had to guess, I'm thinking 680, and a bad day could produce 650 and a great day with a lot of mistakes coming on omitted problems producing a 700/710. I know that my quant isn't much higher than a 43, and my verbal seems to want to stay around 40/41. So I'm not sure.
Thoughts, please?

I think you have a pretty good shot at scoring over 700. You have the ability to do so, but you have got to remain calm (especially in Quant) when the testmakers throw a real curveball question at you. trust me, there will be 1 or 2 questions that you may have never seen. Don't let it bother you! remember, not every question counts and you don't have to answer every question correct. if you think that there is no way you can finish a question in 3-4 minutes... then focus on eliminating answer choices and move on! there is a good chance that the question won't even be scored!
Only 2 out every 3 questions get scored!!!
Stay calm!!
Good luck!!

Thanks Chen!
I think the key for me is to stay calm, how did you know? If I let the markers bother me, or if there's an annoying person coughing, sniffling, or shaking near me, I'm in trouble.
Tonight I think I'm going to retest myself on the last 50 questions of PS and DS in the OG and that's it.
I don't have my test until 5 tomorrow, and I took the day off from work, so I think I'll sleep in, make a good breakfast, get a newspaper and relax. Then review the notes I've been taking over the course of studying and that's about it. I'll probably check these boards a few more times, then walk to the test center to get my blood flowing.
Wish me luck!
