I just started thinking about applying to a business school, and as part of my research I answered a sample verbal test I found on the internet to try and see how far I am from the grade I want.
Only problem is that the test didn't have any way to calculate your grade, so I was trying to figure out what the 33 out of 41 correct answers I got in the verbal part meant...
Thanks again,
Gil
ok wo, wait a second here.
where'd you get this sample verbal test?
and even more importantly: was it ADAPTIVE?
if you're trying to calibrate your ability based on your performance on
non-adaptive tests, that's dangerous territory, especially if you're a relatively high scoring student.
you see, if you're a high scorer, then paper tests will contain a lot of questions that are too easy for you. what will happen, then, is that you'll build up a surplus of time on those problems - time that you can then throw into the more difficult problems. the problem is that this is NOT TRUE on adaptive tests; you'll only get a couple of 'really easy' questions at the most, after which just about everything will be
right at your ability level.
this means that the time management and the strategy are totally different on adaptive tests, which means that you should try your best to practice
only on adaptive tests.
