Hi
This Sunday - 15th June,08 I gave my long pending second CAT. I decided to retake the GMATPrep Practice Test 1. Here are the scores:
Quants: 42, a decrease of 5 points
Verbal: 32, an increase of 9 points
Total: 610, an increase of 40 points

Quants Analysis:
1. Exposed to some conceptual errors
2. Continues to goof up in DS. Silly mistakes

Verbal Analysis
Verbal in my first practice test was black out. This time I was more in control.
1. SC continues to be a pain area. Got 7/15 incorrect
2. 1 complete passage in RC was a repeat but out of the rest 3 passages, I got only 1 question incorrect. I consider this as an achievement. Also my strategy for RC is paying off.
3. 2-3 CR questions were a repeat, but out of the rest 9 Qs, I got 6 correct.

Learnings
1. I should have given the PR practice test because of repeatition of Qs in verbal section for GMATPrep.
2. I got out of touch for a week because of work pressures, which went against me in the test.
