GMAT sample tests reporting software..

by Dave1S » Mon Feb 18, 2013 6:49 pm
I'm doing self-study instead of enrolling in in-class or online courses. Once I'm done with preliminary self-study and ready to assess, can I still enroll in taking online GMAT tests-only(just the tests) from online GMAT coaching centers and get the reports on my strengths and weaknesses?
I diagnostic pulse-check...

For example, reports that show:
- Pace of the test.
- How much time I'm spending on each Q.
- Key areas where I tend to spend way more time.
- How I score in different areas(problem solving, data sufficieny, sentence correction, critical reasoning, reading comprehension)
- Within each area, what sub-areas are strengths/weakness(geometry, algebra, number problems, word problems, fractions/decimals, etc)?
- Improvement between tests
- Anything else?

Hi Dave,

You can purchase a subscription for Manhattan GMAT CAT Tests. The tests can generate reports and you can get a pretty thorough breakdown of your timing and weak areas. GMAT Club tests are also good but have fewer reporting features. One thing that you can do is keep an error log as you study so that you are aware of the types of questions that you are having difficulty with. In my experience this works better than relying on the statistics of practice tests (although seeing time per question is very helpful). Happy Studies.
