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 quest by THE GMAT Club Podcast
