Here are my results from doing all of the questions in the official guide. Please give me some idea of where you think I might score.

CR 104/124 approx. 84.5% correct, 75% for the last 30 questions, averaged 93 seconds per question

RC 130/139 approx. 93.5% correct, 90% for the last 30 questions, averaged 92 seconds per question

SC 121/140 approx. 86.5% correct, 87% for the last 30 questions, averaged 90 seconds per question

DS 151/174 approx. 87% correct, 80% correct for the last 30 questions, averaged 116 seconds per question

PS 203/230 approx. 88% correct, 77% correct for the last 30 questions, averaged 97 seconds per question


I took one of the official tests already, but I'm curious to hear predictions based on these data alone.

Thanks!!!

Trying to predict your score is a bad approach. You will spin your head with energy better used preparing. Usually the best predictor if you really want one are the computer based practice tests.

I could only say that you have a shot for something above 600, but I won't hazard anything more precise than that. As bryantmichaels has mentioned, you should just trust the computer CATs.

Interesting how your performances are almost equal across the board...that'll bode well for a good composite score, because no one question type will drag you down.

However, given that you'll get around 11 or 12 verbal questions of each type, you're looking at missing two of each verbal type...and then more of each type for math.

I'd say you're ready for a second official practice test: take it and see what happens!
