What do basic, intermediate and advanced level questions translate to in terms of score range ?

I know that advanced are 650+ ? Can anyone please shed some light ?

Does anyone have any experience in terms of Kaplan's difficulty vs. GMAT difficulty level ? AGAIN, I AM ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT VERBAL. I know that Kaplan's Quants are not that great.

Thanks
Voodoo

Hi Voodoo,

Our Advanced problems start around 600-650 level, though some are higher. Our basic problem correspond to about 450, but this is a rough estimate as well.

Thanks for your patience on the reply, and sorry it took me a few days to get to it. Please feel free to PM me if I don't see your threads; I try to search for Kaplan related questions, but I'm only human!

Best of luck prepping.

Thanks Eli! How does Kaplan Verbal relate to the actual GMAT Verbal in terms of difficulty? I am curious. My only concern is that I dont want to keep on solving 650 level questions and then get stumped by a 700+ question. My understanding may be incorrect. What can I do to practice with 700+ questions ? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Our problems are modeled after actual GMAT problems, so they are as accurate and test-like as we can make them. We also do our best to score them as accurately as possible, but like all other test-prep companies, we don't have an effective way to collect student scores on the real test and compare them to their performance on our practice exams. We don't like that we have to guess, but it's a necessary evil! We do compare the statistical performance among our problems and tests, and compare out overall results to actual test results, on a regular basis to do everything we can to ensure accuracy.

"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."
