Error in GMATPrep scoring? Please help!

Hey All,

I've been using the boards for a few months, but this is my first post!

Is it possible that the GMATPrep software made an error when calculating my Verbal score on test #2? Has anyone ever experienced something similar with the same software/test?

Total: 610
Q: 48 (24 right, 13 wrong)
V: 27 (26 right, 15 wrong)

Incorrect verbal questions: #3, 8, 10, 13, 14, 17, 22, 24, 28, 30, 32, 34, 38, 39, 40

I had 2 wrong in a row once, and 3 wrong in a row once... other than that, my incorrect answers are pretty spread out.

I know that the test is adaptive and it doesn't matter how many questions you get right. It depends more on the types of questions you get right, but I got 26 right, 15 wrong, and ended up with a 27. I've taken 5 of the 6 MGMAT tests so far and here are my Verbal results:

MGMAT #1: 20 right, 21 wrong - scored a 30
MGMAT #2: 24 right, 17 wrong - scored a 35
MGMAT #3: 24 right, 17 wrong - scored a 35
MGMAT #4: 21 right, 20 wrong - scored a 31
MGMAT #5: 23 right, 17 wrong - scored a 35 (only 40 questions in this one?)

And unfortunately I didn't record breakdown of my 640 score from GMATPrep Test #1, and I can't seem to find a way to go back and check.

If anyone has any input on this, I would really appreciate it. I was really disappointed with the results and felt that I should have received a much higher score.

Thanks!

The answer is in your own post. It's not how many questions you get right, it's how hard they are. A comparable number of right answers can get very different scores.
You need to stop worrying about the number and start thinking about the content. What type of questions are you missing? Where are you getting off track? Are you making one or more error type consistently? Remember, none of the questions seen in practice will be on the test. The challenge is not to learn the specific questions, but to understand and use the process.

Instead of taking multiple tests, try focusing on subject matter. Are you struggling with inference questions? Then study inference until you are confident with the question type. Is geometry a problem? Then work on geometry. Just comparing your scores will not move you ahead. You need to understand strengths and weaknesses. Strengths, so that you can replicate them and weaknesses so you can conquer them.
