Hi people,

Need urgent help. I have my Gmat in 5 days and i have taken the following tests with a very inconsistent score line

Kaplan ( 2 tests, Not online ) : 620 , 590
Manhattan ( 6 tests ) : 670,660,650,680,690
GMAT Prep ( 2 tests ) : 690 , 700

Which of these tests, if any ,are the closest to the actual GMAT.

Also is it possible to have 8-9 questions wrong in your Quant section and still have a score of 48? This happened with me all the time in Manhattan

Urgent advice needed.

Thank you

nothing from what you wrote is inconsistent. it's possible to get a 48 in the MGMAT quant with that many wrong.

normally, the gmat preptests are the best predictors of your score. how long ago did you take the gmat preptests? which test was the most recent test you took?

Kaplan scores are terrible at predicting actual GMAT score.

your gmat prep CAT scores are likely the closest to actual score on test day.

To answer your other question about getting 7-8 questions wrong. Yes it is. Your individual section score isn't just based on how many questions you get right/wrong, but the level of difficulty of questions answered. If you miss 10 questions, but these are all extremely high level difficulty, you still stand a good chance at getting a pretty good quant score.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
