710 is a good score. 27 days is enough time to improve some more.rehandossani wrote:Excellent Score! I gave my first GMAT Prep test today and scored 710 (Q: 48, V: 37). I have 27 days to give my actual GMAT and i am not sure what i will get in actual test. I am just freaking out!..Can you email me the 300 tough questions please because i am out of quantative practice material.
It's always funny to hear scores and raw-score-breakdowns like this. I took a GMATPrep 2 weeks ago, scored the exact same raw-score-breakdown as you (48Q/37V), but only got a 690 total score. Then I took the real GMAT a week later and scored a 49Q/37V, with a 700 score. I start to wonder how much the scores fluctuate, lol.rehandossani wrote:Excellent Score!

Thanks @GMAT HackerGMAT Hacker wrote:Hi mj78ind,
Congratulation on your score:)
Could you please rate Grockit questions according to you? Both Quant as well as verbal.
I started doing questions from grockit last week. Just wanted to know is it good to practice over there.
Cheers,
Hmm .......... that is tricky, my rule of thumb was I would break any section say SC into 3 parts. Say if SC has 240 questions (totally hypothetical do not remember how many there are), then I divided into 3 parts 1 -80 easy, 81 - 160 medium, 161 - 240 tough. Then I would develop sectionals where i would mix and match the tough and the easy across sections so for example take 3Easy, 3 Medium 4 tough for SC same for CR and RC and write the questions on a page and make a list of 41 questions to solve, now I used to always exceed this since the RCs usually have 6 - 8 questions. I would ensure that I have 3 RCs which meant 48 - 51 questions in a verbal sectional.sv77 wrote:Congratz for a great score.. Do you think OG latter questions (last 30-40 ) is comparable to GMAT questions in difficulty level..

Grockit questions rating:
Verbal -
SC - I would rate them atleast as good as GMAT Prep. Reason - at higher levels the SC get a bit ambigious and it is no more about rules but a combination of did you understand the question, what does your 'ear' say and things like that .....Grockit questions at the 16-32X level are like that. Whereas the lower hardness are a bit simpler as in thay apply the rules directly.
CR - as is usual with most preps the questions are limited they are the closest you can get to actual deal. But given that it is tough to make CR questions, this is a bit on the weaker side, but again remember they beat any other study material by a huge margin. Also I say weaker on two counts may be 1 in 7 - 8 question is such that you do not agree with the logic and weaker because the number of questions especially the tough ones is limited in the question bank.
RC - very good. ALthough again the number of tough questions is less.
Quant
PS - very good tons of questions and of good quality
DS - same as above
The cool part is quant questions are tricky ..........which is how the GMAT does it too
The sad thing is I am hearing that you can not practise more than 30 questions in a day at Grockit as a freee member which I need to validate. Do leave your comments here about this 30 question limit if you encounter it.
Best of luck

Thanks a lot for your analysis. There is no day cut off if you study in groups. I guess for solo study there might be cutoff.
