Topic: Kaplan scores

Hi I have been reading from some of you that the scores from Kaplan are not representative and that it is better to ignore them. I took a Mnahattan and scored 580, then I took a Kaplan one and got 540. I found the math section in Kaplan was really though. Is this the general feeling about Kaplan? _________________ Isis Alaska

Kaplan scores are usually skewed down dramatically--and yes, the questions are tough (in my opinion, this is the case because they are poorly written). Don't pay attention to your Kaplan scores. But go through the Kaplan tests becuase they are still decent practice. _________________ Eric Founder of Beat The GMAT http://www.facebook.com/beatthegmat http://www.twitter.com/beatthegmat http://www.twitter.com/ericbahn
