I’d say you can easily get 760 if a 720 is you “winging it”. Might be a good two months of study, but worth it.

I got a 640 on my blind diagnostic and got a 760 on the real thing. I’d say your true score is 770 and you can score anywhere from a 740-790 depending on the day. Diminishing returns on how much you study. I only studied 4 weeks.

Can you share more about how you studied/ how much?

Can easily get 750+

I got 740 like you and then had to spend 2 months of solid studying to reach 770. It really varies per person.

Ya I went from 730 to 770 (test variability as others have said). I would imagine 760+ for you

Depends on where you did well. Most people are able to improve their quant through rigorous practice. Verbal can be harder because getting a very high score needs an element of ‘ear’ which is hard to train in a short amount of time.

You must have impeccable foundational math skills. Nice!

720 diagnostic, took another practice test (740) got 760 day of. Lots of variability honestly but you’re in a good position

Studied for 6 months was able to go from 670 diagnostic to 770 on the real thing. Just depends on how badly you want it

800 lol
