need opinion on my practice test score

by beatitin11 » Mon May 02, 2011 9:01 am
just gave my 2nd Princeton Review test and scored 710 (Q = 50, V = 39)

a few questions:
1. shouldn't a combination of Q = 50 & V = 39 give a score higher than 710 in actual GMAT?
2. I got total 6 mistakes in V (with 2 mistakes in first 10 questions) and none of the mistakes were in RC. Shouldn't I get a V score higher than 39 in actual GMAT?
3. Is Princeton scoring system similar to actual GMAT?

thanks.

It wouldn't be much higher, around 720/730, I believe.

Keep in mind that any CATs offered by a private company can only mimic the GMAT, and can not provide a fully "accurate" score. I encourage students to aim to consistently score 50+ points higher on practice tests than their target score. This forum is full of "I scored so well on practice tests...but then scored much lower on the test" stories. Don't let that happen to you. :-) Have you taken the GMATPreps?

There is a PR expert here on the forum. I suggest a PM to address any PR-specific questions.

Thanks Vivian for your response.
I havn't yet attempted the GMATPrep, but will attempt it soon. My aim is 700+. I should then aim for 740-750 to not have disappointments. :D
