Please help me analyzing my performance

by happymanocha » Sat Jan 21, 2012 9:04 am
Hello All,
I have been studying for GMAT since last 30 days. I scored 520 on GMAT prep1 on dec 20th and after that i did spend some time studying and practicing questions. I gave first test of MGMAT today and scored 600 (Q 44/V30). When i look at the details i corrected only 20 questions in Verbal and 17 questions in Quant which i believe i way far below than normal. My speed was very slow and almost last 15 questions were guesses for both of the sections. I am fine with this score but correcting 25 questions in each section good enough for scoring 650-700 or am i missing something? Please share your experience and advice. It will help me preparing for my next round.

I find that the exams done by manhattan often allow for more incorrect answers. Tough to tell though because no one ever gets to see the question by question break down for the actual GMAT.

The best feedback that I can give you is related to time. Having to guess for that many questions will kill your score. Cut yourself off at 3 mins if you are taking a long time and then move on. This alone should give your score a little boost.

PM me if you want more advise.
