I recently started taking the mock CATs. Just a few days ago i took a Princeton Review test and scored a 610. QA: 44 and VA:30. A bad score i must say, however, whats been troubling me is that i only got 3 questions wrong in QA. I was shocked to see this. Does getting the first few questions wrong affect your score so badly. I got the 2n, 3rd and the 15th question wrong.... Please put an end to my misery here...

That does seem a bit harsh. On the GMATPrep tests (which are perhaps the most accurate) I usually missed around 10 questions and got around a 49. The first questions are important, but I don't think they are that much more important. Try some tests from Manhattan GMAT or GMATPrep and see how you do on them- I think it should be a little more generous.

Again, the GMATPrep is probably the more accurate assessment so don't worry too much.

"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."
