Help!!

by tres_desole » Wed Aug 25, 2010 1:05 pm
Hi all,
My test is in a week and these are my scores so far
1. avg of 730 on the 6 MGMATS
2. 710 and 720 on Kaplan premier 2010-2011
3. surprisingly, all sub 700 on princeton ( algo is weird i think, got 3-4 wrong on quant and my score as 43!!, but I disagree when ppl say these are too trivial to be ignored.)
4 GMATPrep not taken
Anyway,
I am happy with my performance so far but my biggest concern is that these scores may not be true indicators of my ability coz I spent so much time on the quant/verbal forums that I could answer many questions just by looking at them and eventhough I may have solved and reasoned through them this undoubtedly gave me an advantage.
and now m not sure If I can trust GMATPrep even

did this happen to any else, if so what was your final score?

Thanks

The first step is to take the GMATPrep tests. There are over 1000 questions in their question bank so its possible that you won't get any questions that you've seen before. If you do see a question that you know, work through it as you normally would and don't give yourself the extra time. Even if you see a couple questions that are very similar to ones you've done in the past it should be ok because you'll probably see two or three questions on the test that are very to some questions you've done in the past. Also, make sure you don't take more time on the breaks than what you're allowed (8 minutes)
