Mgmat Cat

by Khaim » Mon May 25, 2009 2:26 pm
Please of anyone can tell me about the Mgmat cats,
6 tests in total.

I did the 3 first one and score very bad around 460, 470 last week
and today I got a 570 !!

how is that possible ? I got Q43 AND V25

But all the Quant questions were very difficult so even If I got lot of wrong I still got good mark ! Which is not real for the gmat
since it's not a CAT test anymore !

Did anyone expenrienced that the latter test are more difficult ??

Are the mgmat test adaptive or not ???

Thank you

If you score 700 on the MGMAT cats you will score 750+ on the GMAT. 50 to 100 points _+ lower

Don't worry about the low score, MGMAT is ridiculously hard and many of the problems will not be that way on the GmAT. I'd say most if not all.

I wouldn't use MGMAT to study Verbal either. Not very practical IMO.

The MGMAT tests are adaptive. The standard deviation is about 50 points, which means that you are most likely to score within 50 points in either direction if you go ahead and take the official test fairly soon thereafter. (We calculate the standard deviation based upon students' scores on their final practice test vs. their score on the official test.)

Contrary to popular belief, it's not automatically the case that you'll score better on the real test than you will on our test. Some people score higher, some score lower - again, that 50-point SD is in either direction.

You said:

The official GMAT is still a CAT - that has not changed. Our algorithm mimics the official test's algorithm. Pretty much everybody gets a lot of questions wrong - that's not how the test is scored. The difficulty level of the questions is a much more important factor than the pure # you get right or wrong.
