Hi,

I have written my first practice test today. I am using Princeton tests for practice[apart from GMATPrep]. I have read a lot of threads here and its time to post now. I need some guidance from the generous people of the forum. Following is my scorecard:

Quant: 7 wrong - score: 50
Verbal: 9 wrong - score: 31
Total: 650

I am not gonna compare Quant vs. Verbal here as its already given in the forum that those scores should not get compared in terms of no. of correct answers.

As 650 is much below my targeted score, I wanna know that how close is he level of Princeton tests to actual GMAT?

I found Manhattan SC guide extremely useful due to which I made dramatic improvement in SC[14 correct out of 15]. Any suggestions for CR/RC?[apart from OG and OG Verbal guide]

Most important -
Arguably Initial 7-8 problems are important in any test. I didn't believe this theory, but my score card made me doubtful. I got just 2 correct ans. in initial 6 and even though I did last 13 problems correct in a row, my score was just 31 :( . Is theory of initial problems a myth or truth.

I'll come back soon with my doubts in that test.

Thanks for the help.

:D
