Hi all,
I have just taken Veritas Gmat test and had a score of 680 with 51 Q (4inc) and 35V (12inc). I feel that Quant is a lot easier than OG12 and Verbal is also easier and very straight forward. What do you guys say about Veritas.

I started studying 5-6 weeks ago and my so far scores are:

Sept.1 Manhattan 46Q 31V 630
Sept.7 GmatPrep1 47Q 22V 570
Oct. 1 Gmat Prep2 48Q 27V 620
Oct. 11 MasterGmat 47Q 22V 570
Oct.16 Knewton 51Q 35V 680

Should I conider this Knewton score just as an exception, since it may be easier than other resources.?

Many thanks for any comment in advance.

Best wishes

I know that it is the tendency of each of us to want to know what each practice test says about what we would score on test day. However, as is true with all "unofficial practice tests" (as in anything other than GMATPrep) our Veritas practice tests are best thought of as opportunities for you to practice rather than as predictions of your score on test day.

The mixture of questions on our tests are weighted a bit toward certain question types. If you are particularly good at those types then you would find the test easier. Many people actually feel like the score they get is lower than what they get on other tests. In your case it seems to be a bit above.

The GMATPrep 1 and 2 results that you have below are the most predictive. These are the tests that use retired official GMAT questions and that have a nearly identical scoring algorithm to the one on test day. You can take each of those GMATPrep tests again if you feel like you have improved enough since October 1 to make a difference in your scores.

Treat all other tests as practice rather than prediction.

Good luck!
