Hi,

How accurate is the score predictor on the Magoosh software? I've been predicted a much lower score than I got on my two GMATPrep CAT tests...

Thanks.

Hi national01,

The best predictor of how you'll perform on the GMAT is to take a FULL-LENGTH CAT (with ALL sections) under realistic and test-like conditions. The more you deviate from that 'standard', the less likely your score results are to be accurate.

While I have not personally used the software that you've mentioned, it certainly sounds like it gave you a result that wasn't necessarily accurate. There are so many different resources that you can use during your studies that if you don't believe that one particular resource is proving useful, then you can easily choose to use a different resource.

"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."
