Test in 5 weeks - inconsistent Test Scores

by harshasks2 » Sun Jun 12, 2011 11:59 pm
I am a little perplexed that my scores have dipped over the last 2 weeks , I started of with GMAT Prep 1 and scored 690 (Quant 49 and Verbal 34),Princeton 610 (Quant 44 and Verbal 30) and Knewton 630(Quant 46 and Verbal 29).

I gave the Princeton and Knewton after some prep , and I see my scores have dipped.

I'm a little worried about this performance.

I have 5 weeks left to the exam , what do you guys suggest?

Thanks.

I think it's tough to determine whether or not your scores have actually dipped. In a way, you are comparing apples with oranges.
The GMATPrep tests use official, retired GMAT questions along with the official GMAT scoring algorithm. The other tests do not.

I suggest that you take another GMATPrep test.

Cheers,
Brent
