Princeton scoring algorithm

by crazy4gmat » Sun Oct 19, 2008 8:41 am
Hi All,

I am shooting for 700+ in GMAT. I took a Princeton CAT today and got a 590(Q 41 ,V 31) having got 700+ in PowerPrep last week. Could anyone who has used Princeton CAT's say whether their scoring algorithm matches GMATprep algorithm or it is not correct.It has really got me worried

By Powerprep do you mean the old official practice test, which was retired a few years ago, or GMATPrep, the current iteration of the official practice test? The answer makes a big difference, because the scoring algorithm has changed since Powerprep was out there.

My PR practice scores were very close to my real GMAT score.
