Veritas Prep Books and Mock test question!!!!

by rakeshd347 » Mon Jul 22, 2013 6:56 pm
Hi Everyone

I started going through veritas prep set after my 2nd attempt and failure to achieve my desired score. Now I took my 1st veritas prep test 2months back in May 2013 and yesterday I took the second test from veritas mock. I found the mock test this time totally different the first time. Quant was lot harder and tricky even though I score Q48 on that.....Verbal was harder and tricky too but I only scored V30 on that. Now I gave my gmatprep test 2 weeks back and I scored Q49 and V35. So is it normal a drop of 5 points in verbal score. I have improved a lot in RC but I found veritas prep test RC way too dense It gave me headache( I end up taking 2 disprine tablets)......

Could someone from veritas prep please advice me what can I conclude from this or is it normal to see a drop in score when I change in strategy from some other company to veritas strategy even though they are similar but the idea is different. Also please advice me that when Should I take rest of the 3 tests as I have already taken 2 and I have my gmat 05 september 2013.

Thanks
Rakesh

Hi rakeshd347,

Veritas Prep has it's own forum (scroll down the main Forum Index page) and you'll see it. Try posting there; you're more likely to get a direct response.

The older Veritas tests do not give as accurate of a score as the newest test does.

Here is the link to the newest Veritas Test, which is currently free to all and not just to Veritas students. This new test is the result of years of research and employs Item Response Theory like that used on the GMATPrep test. Here is the link https://www.veritasprep.com/gmat/free-gm ... tice-test/

I would take that test next and as far as your current results, of course the GMATPrep is the more accurate. So it is unlikely that you had a drop of five points at all. Take this new practice test, if the results are closer to the GMATPrep then you will know that is where you are...

If you have additional questions you can send me a PM directly.

Those results should correlate pretty well with the results that you would get if you took the GMATPrep or the actual GMAT right now.

All of the feedback that we are getting tells us that this Test is very similar, in terms of difficulty, etc. to the actual test.

So your GMAT is not away and 670 is not a bad score. You have time to work on those areas that will help you to get the most points between now and then. I am sure that you found some areas that you would need to work on --- the test highlighted some areas you were not as strong on, right? And you can focus on those and then, in a week or so, take another test.

You have time if you work hard to get that score up before your test.

Hi David,

Appreciate your prompt reply. I'm targeting a score of around 750. it may be a stretch but then because its my first mock i'm not pessimistic.

Wanted to know if reaching a 750 mark is realistic. My score breakup is as follows:

Your Score: 670

Percentile: 84

Integrated Reasoning Score: 3 - Percentile: 24

Quantitative Reasoning Score: 47 - Percentile: 73

Verbal Reasoning Score: 35 - Percentile: 74

Quantitative Reasoning Score: 47 - Percentile: 73

% correct # correct # incorrect Pace per question
Overall 54% 20 17 01m 57s
Data Sufficiency 53% 8 7 01m 08s
Problem Solving 55% 12 10 02m 29s
Verbal Reasoning Score: 35 - Percentile: 74

% correct # correct # incorrect Pace per question
Overall 61% 25 16 01m 27s
Critical Reasoning 62% 8 5 01m 23s
Reading Comprehension 73% 11 4 01m 35s
Sentence Correction 46% 6 7 01m 21s

would appreciate your feedback
