Hi guys,

Been a long while since my last post.

I gave the 1st 800score.com test.(https://www.800score.com/free-gmat.html)

(Having some problem with the Math scoring-sometimes it is showing 48 for 29/37 correct and sometimes 49 when I open a separate window)Which one is the right score for 29/37 correct?

My scores were as follows:-(**I did not write the AWA)
1)Math:

Section Score-48 or 49
Percentile-86 or 88
29 out of 37 correct(I found 1 or 2 question framing to be ambiguous-not expecting the same on the actual GMAT)

2)Verbal:

Section Score-33
Percentile-69
30 out of 41 correct

GMAT Cumulative Score = 660 or 680(Depending upon the Quant 48/49 score)

How does this test fare up compared to the actual GMAT?

Thanks in advance.

first of all, whether it is 660 or 680 doesn't matter. You need to see why you have done those 8 mistakes, which questions took lot of time, were you concentration level good through out the exam etc. I don't think any test other than GMATprep can be used to estimate the score. Even GMATprep is not close.

So don't worry about scores in the mock, but concentrate on the mistakes, concepts etc

No offense intended.

All the best.

Also one more thing to note is that... number of questions wrong can't indicate the score as each and every question has a difference weight basing on its difficulty level. The score also depends on whether you got successive questions wrong etc.

I have found that the questions do not vary in difficulty as you progress through the test??
Has anybody found the same with the recent 800score.com tests??

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
