Hi V-Rap, I'm not an expert since I haven't taken the real test yet. But this is what I am have found: 800score's quant is too involved to finish on time and their verbal is too easy. The Veritas Prep questions on the quant are questionable. Some of the questions just don't seem right and nothing like I've seen in the OG. You should have also gotten some Arco tests...not perfect either, but prob the best of the three. I didn't think the Veritas Prep course was that bad. I do wish that I completed the Official Guide before taking the course. Also the questions in the beginning do hold more weight. If you have already started the course you know what I am referring to when I say that. RC: I think you have to develop a method that works best for you. I actually read the passage twice quickly. The GMATsets are great. the questions are challenging and feel like questions that would be asked on the test. (again, speculation since I haven't taken the test yet) Someone on here should have them. Too bad I didn't discover them earlier.

anyone know how 800score verbal compares to the real GMAT? I am getting as high as 99% and I never get anything close to that on other tests. would be a great help if anyone had any insight.

Hi Kannn, not rude at all...actually very helpful to know someone else noticed the same things. I even know the clock problem you're talking about. I think I'll just concentrate on the OG and gmat prep from now until the test. thanks,

Hello, just wanted to say this forum is great and that it does add some comfort to know that practice exam scoring can be wildy off base. Veritas 1 (7/13) - 570 V32 Q32 Veritas 2(7/29) - 590 V39 Q30 Thompson Arco 1(8/4) - 600 V31 Q40 Thompson Arco 2(9/15) -610 V29 Q44 Thompson arco 3(9/2) - 610 V30 Q44 Veritas 3 (9/23) 490!!! V25 Q28 (what a confidence killer) GPREP 600 - before any OG math. Feel as if I took this again, I would do signficantly better as the math is completely diff. from other tests. 4 weeks before the actual and I have no clue what to expect. It seems that my verbal is getting worse. Took Veritas exam 3 today and was shocked at how many data interpretation questions I got in the beginning. In fact, I question how accurate these are since the quant was mostly data interpretation and advanced number properties. anyway if anyone has any experience w/Veritas or Thompson pls let me know.
