Question about Grebible and practice tests

[Alexandra]

Hi!

I am planning to take the GRE in December - beginning of October and I've taken a few practice tests, but the results are so different from one test to the other, that I am not sure what score to expect in the actual test. Maybe someone can give me an indication... Thanks!

I have just done my first 2 tests from Grebible and got 1600 on the first one, which was very surprising as I am only at letter C from Barron's word list (although I've gone through the vocabulary in Kaplan and Princeton Review). On the second test, that I took immediately after the first one, I got 760 for Verbal and 690 for Quantitative (some questions were repeated from the first test, while others contained unknown words...).
About two weeks ago I got 550 for Verbal and 710 for Quantitative in a Princeton Review dvd test.
So these tests don't seem very reliable at first glance, do they?
And one more thing: I understand by looking at Grebible scores, that one can get 800 even by not answering correcty to all questions; is it true?

gre bible is old...so tests r not very accurate anymore. do computer tests 2 no ur score. powerprep & princeton r the ones that r gud 4 telling ur right score.

Hi Panet735, how important do you think are correct spelling, punctuation and capitalization?

how important do u think it is 2 b nice?????

and it's not "puncuation" but "punctuation". Don't b rude if u r not using perfect grammar urself.

Hi Panet735, I agree with you, being polite is the way to go. Now that we have established this, could we please return to the spelling issue? A lot of our forum users are confused when others use words that don't exist. Please read this:
