Statistically, the GMAT prep test can have a deviation of 30 points.(either side). You should look at your prep closely and identify the areas you need to improve. Implement the lessons learnt out of the tests. You should be able to improve marginally for sure.
Wish you good luck

Just curious - is the 30 point standard deviation an official statistic or is it an estimate? Taking the test on Wednesday and really want to stay in my range...

Its a bit of both. Dont worry about it if your exam is close. Just do the best you can - 650 is not a bad score at all - it all depends where youre applying though.

Good luck !
