Gmat calculator ??

by Khaim » Fri May 15, 2009 7:31 pm
Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum... But I have read several of your topics and I have to say that it has beed extremely helpful ;)
Great forum !

So.... I got some questions :

- how the GMAT is calculated ? I mean there is a website "gmat calculator"
where we can estimate our score.. but is it really accurate ?
for example if I put
Q30 and V30 the total will be 510 ... (but it is lower than the gmatprep test )

anyhow........

I wanted to ask you about the GMATPREP...
are the question very similar to the real GMAT ?

I fing it much harder that the OG11 ??

No one knows for sure how your score is calculated. Most prep companies try to develop their own algorithm, as similar as can be to the official one.
If by the score calculator you mean that 800score-related web page, I've also tested some of my percentile scores and found it to be slightly inaccurate. For my q50, v47 the calculator returned 760, while I got 770 on the real thing.

If I were you, I'd stick to the scoring of GMATprep. It's the most accurate thing out there. Besides, it contains real retired questions, so it's closest to the real test. In my experience, the questions in GMATprep were very similar to those in the GMAT, although I did notice one too many word problems on D-Day.
