taken from my 15th Jan blog entry:

"Kaplan and Verbal score...

after doing 3 Kaptest exams here are my stats:
#1: Q: 49 V: 30 T: 680
#2: Q: 44 V: 29 T: 630
#3: Q: 53 V: 30 T: 690

my conclusions are:
a. I have heard of Kaplan as being tough on Quantiative, if this is so than I should be hapy. I think it is not so. Kaptest exams are not more difficult in Q. I am happy I broke the 50 line but am worried about my inconsistency (49 --> 44 --> 53).
b.what are they thinking with their Verbal section? I had a nive average of 36-39 in 2 PR and 4 Cambridge exams, how could I have slumped to a stable average of 30? I have to aknowledge I have serious work to do in Verbal. most mistakes in the Kaptest V section are by far the CR.

time left:
8 days. I was considering postponing but will go ahead with the original date.

Verbal Verbal Verbal...... thats my mission - havent given up on the 40 goal in V.

must think of a new study strategy to confront this issue."

any comments?, leads?, tips? on how to adress the Verbal obsticle a demonstrated?

Ignore your Kaplan scores. They're not a good indicator, especially for verbal. Princeton Review and GMATPrep will be much more accurate.

Hi Ron:

Thanks for sharing your post here. I second wunderkind's comments--don't take your Kaplan test scores too seriously. The scoring algorithm for Kaplan tests appears to skew yours scores down significantly.

The best way to benchmark your actual GMAT performance is to take GMATPrep tests. Have you taken any of these tests yet?

Hi

by ronrh200 » Tue Jan 16, 2007 10:30 pm
thanks for the info - you are both saying Kaplan scores are not suggestive of the actual score ("dont worry about the Verbal but dont get excited about the Quantiative").

as for GMATprep - its on my to do list for the weekend - I plan to go through both of them more than once each.

currently I took a Verbal refreshing day - trying to boost my current level

I may adhere to your advise and take one GMATperp today just to check actual current level

GMATprep test 1

by ronrh200 » Wed Jan 17, 2007 11:00 am
from my recent blog entry:

"took the GMATprep test 1....

hi, as I was worried with the "dive" in Verbal score and worried of how suggestive of the real exam are all these prep program exams such as PR, Cambridge and Kaplan - I decided to take the GMATprep test 1.

score:
Q:43, V:38, T:670

understandings:
a. I am happy with the Vernbal score, I somehow feel more "at home" with the actual GMAT Verbal section than with the Kaplan one. most mistakes are in "good old" SC.
b. I am unhappy, however, with my Quantiative score (a plunge from 53 heights to a whoping 43...)
took notes on all questions I found hard and/or mistaken. no common nominator for the 15 (!!!!) mistakes. I need to see that I dont flunk on these questions the next time.

next posts I will put all scores gained on the various programs I used- see if there is a positive slope....

bye"
