Hokie just joined TestMagic.
Took my GMAT yesterday. This was one of my biggest questions going into the test (what is the correlation between practice and real scores?), so I thought I'd briefly weigh in.

Real Score: 700 (44Q, 41V)
Kaplan Diag: 570 (10/08)
Kaplan CAT 1: 610 (10/17)
...CAT 2: 700 (10/19)
...CAT 5: 630 (10/26)
...CAT 6: 680 (11/1)
...ULT: 690 (11/3)
...CAT 8: 610 (11/8)

Disclaimers: I had a really rocky test day (lost 2 minutes before even starting the quant section, and never quite recovered). Then my expected failure in the quant section pretty much ruined the verbal section (my strong area) for me. Basically, I feel that I should have scored a lot better than a 700, and, for those Kaplan kids, expect to gain points on test day. However, I have noticed that there was a big swing in my test scores when I was tired or distracted - just ensure that doesn't happen to you.

Good luck! : )
