GMATprep accuracy..please advise!

by GMATaddiction » Sat Dec 12, 2009 6:10 am
Hi Guys/Gals

I just completed a GMAT prep 2 exam and I scored a 46 on the quantitative section.

I dont understand how thats possible since I got 17 questions wrong!!! Could there by any errors with the software?
Is it normal to get a 46Q with 17 errors?

Also, I have noticed that the Quantitative section of GMATprep is quite easier than the real GMAT, is this true to some degree or just my perception?

Really would appreciate some insight into these questions!

THANK YOU!

Actually, the quantitative section is known to be a bit more generous than the verbal. That is, you can get a pretty good score even with a lot of errors. Remember: the number of questions you got wrong is not everything that counts towards your score, it's just a part.

I'd say that GMATprep is comparable with the real thing in terms of quant - maybe the real GMAT was only a bit harder than GMATprep, but not so much as to completely throw me off.
