This might seem as a whiny beat after the test, but just wanted to vent my thoughts about the actual test. I just wanted to get others' opinion on the difference between the toughness of GMATPrep ( from the official mba.com site ) and the actual GMAT test.
I appeared for my GMAT test yesterday and let me tell you , i did not score anywhere closer to what i was before the test. I was scoring a consistent 760 in the days leading up to the test. I agree some Qs' do repeat with the re-takes , but they are minor. I ended up scoring in the low 600's in the actual test.
Believe me the test was tough as hell throughout with no let up. Bulky passages in CRs, convoluted RC passages .... yeah fine until that , i was adept to parse the dense paragraphs GMAT was throwing at me and picking the right answers the way i used to answer all the Qs in the Official Guides and GMATprep ....
Even the Quant was hell .... but i was getting thru' only believing i was on top ...... which is good ...
But when it was time to look at the scores , a low 600 pops up ... why ???
I was consistently scoring 80-90% on the OG questions under 2 mins. each , timing myself for about a month. Consistently was getting scores between 730-760 on the GMATPrep tests and i end up with this ....
I was really pissed off yesterday , since i see no reason to re-appear soon as long as GMAT has this discrepancy between GMATPrep and actual GMAT .....
I just want to know from other recent test takers their opinion on the toughness in their actual tests ...
