Alright so I've been studying off of Kaplan '04 and the 'Official Guide to GMAT'...at this point I've done hundreds of practice questions and essays on paper but I haven't taken a real CAT (computer adaptive test) yet. Well, not until this morning.
I shut myself into a private study room at the library and took a practice exam on the Kaplan CD-ROM. When it was all said and done, my projected score was a 680, even though I missed a TON of questions on the math section. In the entire verbal section I only got two sentence correction questions wrong (aced critical reasoning!!!) I didn't quite understand the breakdown of scoring between math and verbal except that my verbal performance made up for my lackluster math--when schools look at my result do they only look at overall score or do they care about math vs. verbal?
I plan on one more week of studying before taking the exam...will I be ready for it? People have told me that Kaplan practice exams are very hard and typically I can expect my 'real' score to be as much as 60 points higher on test day...is this true?
