Hello,

I just took a prep test from the GMAC (official CD) and scored Q46 V41.

Prior to this I've been scoring around 710 - 720 on Manhattan CAT's, so the score itself is not surprising to me. What's strange with this test was, of the first 14 quant problems, I got 10 of them wrong!! And got 13 wrong total on the entire section (meaning I went on a streak in the 2nd half of getting everything right).

If this had been the official test, any idea if I based on the adaptive algorithm I would have gotten a much lower score? I'm going back and trying to evaluate what threw me off in the early problems. But it didn't seem like the problems "adapted down" as I was getting them wrong, or maybe I'm just really that bad!

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You would have scored 49 in quant, if the wrong one's would have been towards the end of quant.
GMAT adapts more in case you make questions wrong in the beginning rather than at the end.
Try to keep your accuracy high during the start.
If you've liked my post, let me know by pressing the thanks button.
