Hi,

I have taken few practise test from kaplan,princeton, OGprep my quants are always from 44-49. But some how i am finding MGMAT question to be very wordy ,twisted and some are difficult too.....thus taking much more time.... i am just able to finish around 25 qs in 75 mins .....this is really concerning me.....Please advise, but I trust on MGMAT a lot, from this forum(i value to a lot) it seems they match and predict yr actual gmat score.

Please help me to swim thru......

Thanks,
SB

if you're a high-scoring student, you may be getting a selection of problems that are occasionally longer and/or more labor-intensive than the 700-800 level problems on the real gmat. while our problems aren't so long as to be ridiculous, there are a number of our 700-800 level problems that are longer and more time-consuming than those on the real exam (although not by that much).

another factor arises from the fact that our exams don't contain experimental questions. recall that the experimental questions on the real gmat are chosen completely at random; therefore, if you're a high-scoring student, most of the experimentals you're going to get will be easier (and thus presumably faster) than your "normal" problems. by contrast, our exams don't contain any experimental questions, so, if you're scoring at the 700-800 level, you'll be getting almost all "hard" problems.

rest assured, though, that despite the slight discrepancy in question length, the scores you get on our exams are still well correlated to scores on the official exam.

if you're only getting to 25 questions in 75 minutes, you need to revamp your time management big-time. in fact, that's one positive effect of taking a test on which the questions are a bit on the long side: your time management skills are tested and tempered, so that time management won't be a problem on the real thing.

good luck!
