30 Jan Official practice exam 1: 760 Q50/V42 (I took around extra 10 mins to complete all the verb questions. You guys probably shouldn't do that if you want to get the most accurate prediction on you actual GMAT result) 2 Feb Official practice exam 2: 750 Q50/V41 (around 8 extra mins on verb) At this point I started thinking if I'm keeping answering questions at this pace I'm not going to cut it. So I did the rest of practice exams in the real exam setting. 4 Feb Official practice exam 3: 670 Q50/V29 I was obviously disappointed but started practicing many official questions everyday. 7 Feb Official practice exam 4: 700 Q50/V35 11 Feb Official practice exam 5: 730 Q50/V40 13 Feb GMAT EXAM: 710 Q50/V35 (8 or 9 questions wrong in quant and 9 questions wrong in verb) In my opinion, results of your practice exams are relatively accurate for predicting your actual score if you do it in a real exam setting without seeing questions that you have already practiced.
