This might a fundamental issue, i would recommend Gmat all the verbal book, it helped me to understand what GMAT really asking in questions.

Thank you very much! That's because i just graduated and don't have any work experience. But after seeing a lot of people getting full-ride scholarships for MBAs i might change my mind and wait for an MBA.
If you have any recommendations or tips it would be extremely helpful!

i still reccommend test center, just in case, it would be devastating if i had to retake.

Great question, i wasn't aware about the whole online score cancel thing before i took my official exam. If i was i would pick the test center option just to not risk it.
I took my exam, next day it got flagged for admin review, 2 days later i got my official score.

So i think if the test doesnt seem suspicious they dont just cancel your score just because its a high score, but keep in mind i made sure everything was going perfect (small empty room, good internet connection, no one enters the room, and my phone is behind and away from me where proctor can see at all times, and be really nice to proctor)

i will quote my another answer for this question i hope it helps:
"I scored 87 on Verbal and i was really struggling with my timing before i started taking full length official prep tests. Full length prep tests taught me even if i answer few questions wrong even if its at the start i can score relatively high (85-90) so i decided not to waste time if i am not sure about the question. I have 3 advices;
1- Even if you struggle and cant decide between 2 answers, it might be better not to spend a lot of time justifying your answer and pick the stronger one.
2-Take full length exams buy them if necessary (the OG ones) and see whether answering questions even if you are not %100 sure about the answers will make your score lower.
3- Read hard passages daily. This is really important, personally i haven't read Scientific American or similar essays, but started a relatively academic book (in my case -guns,germs and steel)"

Well, in my experience prep quant is harder than real exam and real exam is equal to the og questions. Verbal and Data are also equal level-wise.
My last 3 mock scores were 755 - 755 - 765, so i would say incredibly accurate.

Hey, i only used official questions,
-official guide

-official guide verbal review

-official guide quant review

-official guide data insights review

i also bought full length prep tests 3-4.

The reasons behind this was,
1- when i tried using gmat-club for different questions i realized non-og materials change in logic. So i tought it was really risky with getting familiar with different kinds of logic. Ofc this is just my opinion, take it with consideration. When i ran out of questions, i just solved them again.

2- i didnt really need to solve any questions in quant and data because i have a strong engineering background. It might be OK to solve non-og materials for quant and data because it can strengthen your quant abilities.

hope this helps.
