Confusing Gmat-Prep Score

by er.twi.fb » Tue Aug 03, 2010 4:35 am
Hi,

I recently gave Gmat-Prep1
I scored 50 on Q-provided i did 29/37 questions correct.
On Verbal I scored 19-but i did 24/41 questions correct. The weak link if it matters was that i did last 5 q wrong.

I ended up getting a mere score of 580. Is it possible? Normally having this much questions right, one is supposed to get around 650, isn't it?

Any advice guys.....

Hello
What matters is not only the number of questions right but the level of difficulty of questions answered correctly. For example, one of my students missed 11 questions on the quant section and scored around a 37 I think. When I took the GMATPrep, I got a 11 questions wrong but got a 49.
