Low Quant Score on Free CAT

by barcebal » Sun Jul 18, 2010 5:46 pm
I just took the free CAT offered by MGMAT.

My math quant, which was 47 on the GMAT practice test 1 and 49 on the Free Knewton CAT, only hit 43. I thought the problems were extremely time consuming and tricky. I have done all of the OG problems and found that even the hardest OG problems were not this hard.

Can you please explain why this is? Is it to over-prepare students?

Hi

Thanks for taking our CAT. We do have a dedicated curriculum development team who are constantly working to make sure the CAT is as reflective of the actual test as possible.

That being said, our CATs can predict your score to a standard deviation of about 50 points, whereas the actual GMAT can predict your score with an SD of around 30 points, so you should always rely on the GMAT Prep exams as the best predictor of your score overall.

Best.
