Performance degraded in PS

by ProGMAT » Mon May 26, 2014 7:46 pm
I have taken my first diagnostic test and scored (12, 14) in (PS, DS) from official guide'13.
I have completed course from 60 day self study for Quant and re-took the diagnostic test and scored
(14, 19) in (PS,DS). What should be my next step for Quant, as I am starting for Verbal course from now.

*Working professional: Can give only 2 hrs on weekdays and 6 hrs on weekends.

Thanks,
Tarun

Hi Tarun,

If you're talking about the Diagnostic Test at the Beginning of the OG13, then you should know that that Test is not representative of the Official GMAT (neither the number of questions nor the ratio of question types/concepts is Test-Like), so the results of that Test don't really "translate" into a GMAT Quant Scaled Score. That Diagnostic Test is a decent way to gauge your strengths and weaknesses though, so you should have a better sense of the areas that you're comfortable with and the areas that still need work.

Have you taken a full-length CAT yet? If not, then I'd suggest that you do, so that we can gauge your current overall level of ability.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi Tarun,

If you followed the 60-Day study guide, you should have taken several full-length practice tests, including one on Day 3 to get your baseline score.

Cheers,
Brent

Thanks Rich, Brent.
Yes, I have taken one full length practice test before starting the self study course and scored 540 (Q,V,IR):(22,22,6)
I am about to take the second full length practice test within 2-3 days after completing my pending work and going back through the flash cards.
