800 score CATS

by gmat_dec » Thu May 13, 2010 7:19 am
are they adaptive and are they worth giving a try ?? Also wanted to know whether they provide a combined score ? I have heard that they provide individual verbal and quant raw scores and from that you need to calculate the actual score using the 800 score calculator ?

What you've heard is right: you receive scores for each of the two sections and then you need to go to their online score calculator. It's a bit out of date, though, meaning that it overestimates your score. My experience with 800score is not that good, though... I wouldn't recommend them - I'm not 100% they're adaptive. I think you'd be better off by buying other tests. For instance, MGMAT provides 6 CATs and you can get GMATprep from mba.com and retake each of those two tests at least two times = 10 CATs in total, which is more than enough.
