Heyy in terms of accuracy, u did great!!..but again the test u tuk dosent seem to be a standard GMAT diag by kap [standard kap diag has 37Q + 41V question, as found on the actual GMAT]so I cant comment on the actual level of the questions and ur score!. Also the kap test I talk of has an inbuilt score calculator, so u wouldnt have to calulate ur score manually, it would do all by itself.

GMAT is a CAT and uses very complex algo to calculate our score, it is actually ver very difficult to calculate the score by no. of correct or wrng.

All I can say is that u've made a good start, way to go!!

Cheers!!

Hi ,
Thanks for the reply.. this is actually the Kaplan diagnostic test given on the kaplan website for which u get access when u buy the kaplan book.. nd probably since its a diagnostic test (i suppose it is only half the length of the actual GMAT). Thanks again

Kaplan tests are notoriously inaccurate, so I would not use it as a diagnostic at all. Use GMATPrep.

"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."
