After studying for a couple of months, I took my first GMAT Prep Practice test today. I got 600 (Q45, V28) - Quant 17 incorrect and Verbal 17 incorrect.
Actually, I could not finish last 7 questions of Quant section and was running out of time. So I just guessed the answers from 31st question to the last 37th question and completed the test in 75 minutes.
I could finish the Verbal part just in time.
Now I would like to know where I stand? What do you suggest for me or my abilities (Of course, I know where I lack)? What does this score mean actually?
About me:
- Graduated in 1995 (Maths only upto High School)
- Studying from Jan-15, 2007
- Finished OG all three books
- Now planning to do Kaplan-800
- In about 3 weeks planning to take the real GMAT

Your quant score is actually quite good, especially considering you guessed on the last several questions. I think if this was your first practice test then you probably just need to take another five or six practice tests to get the "pacing" down.
There is room for improvement with verbal, so I would recommend pushing back your test date. Figure out what you're struggling with on verbal, and work on this area. For instance if it is critical reasoning, go through the OG and figure out why you're missing questions, really understand why you're missing them.
You're applying for next year right? No rush, take your time, wait until you're hitting your target score on your practice tests before you think about taking the real thing. A lot of people seem to think that they will magically score higher when they take the actual test. I don't know why people think this, but a lot of times people seem to think, "I scored 600, 610, and 620 on my practice tests, what the hel, I'll go ahead and take the test and hopefully hit a 700."
Until you get a score that you're happy with on GMAT Prep, don't take the real test.
I think you just need to do a little work on verbal and then do five or six CATs and you're going to be fine, good luck!

Really thanks for your reply!
I am going to apply this year September intake. Last date of application is April-end, 2007. So I must take the real GMAT before this.
I started studying just 2 months ago and daily 5 to 6 hours but no-weekend study. Now I have made plans of studying about 8 hours daily (4 hrs Q + 4 hrs V sections) and taking-retaking prep-tests on weekends.
I am a non-native speaker so Verbal is really a difficult part. I am working on it.
My choice of B-school requires 650 score. So I am aiming at 700 to leave no chance. My GPA is the strongest part of my application. It is 3.5 on 4 scale.
Yes, this was my first GMAT-prep test ever. One thing I noticed very disturbing was time-clock hanging like a sword on my head. I am planning to retakes as many tests as possible to fight with this problem. I know every test-taker feels the same in the beginning.
