Kaplan test score 600. what does it mean?

by the_silver_lining » Thu Jan 24, 2013 4:32 am
I scored 600 in kaplan test today. The test does not give the score in q and v format. I am unable to understand what would be my quant and verbal score. This is what i get on the score page.

Overall percentage below: 63%
Integrated Reasoning: 2
Quantitative percentage below: 80%
Verbal percentage below: 27%

while the percentage correct answers are:
IR. 17%
Quant percentage correct answers 62%
verbal percentage correct answers 54%

Some please help me understand the quant and verbal score.
Thanks a lot.

I would not make much of it. The best use of Un-official tests from the various prep companies is for practicing the content and the timing aspect. If you want a real gauge of where you stand, then you'd be better off taking a GMAT PREP CAT, which uses the same algorithm as the real test and also gives you questions that have previously appeared on the actual GMAT. A lot of prep companies make sure to test you with tougher content to better prepare you, and you should use their tests as a challenge for getting better.

I agree with vomhorizon.

You can download the official practice test software here: https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... tware.aspx

Please note that, although the practice test software includes 2 tests, you can take each test multiple times. Yes, you will see some repeated questions, but not that many. If you're interested, I wrote an article for BTG on this topic: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2010/03/ ... iple-times

Cheers,
Brent

Silver-Lining:

Once you get a good practice test or two under your belt -- I'd take a look at Stacey's article here -- https://www.manhattangmat.com/blog/index ... ice-tests/ It's got some great thoughts and tips on what to do with the results of your practice test to help inform your go-forward study plan.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

-Brian
