MGMAT - Harder on math, easier on verbal?

I've only taken two tests, but have seen countless problems posted in the quant forum and I agree with you that their quant is harder than the actual one. That's a good thing though, since it means that if you can train using the hard stuff, the easy stuff will be a breeze.

Can't say anything particular for their verbal, though. My verbal scores in MGMAT were sort of in line with GMATprep results, maybe a bit lower.

I also took MGMAT test today and scored 45 in Quantitative. However, scored very less in verbal .

Congrats! That problably means you're in range of 47 - 49 on GMAT Prep for quant. However, if you're shooting for 750, your verbal can't be a liability. Where are your weak verbal areas?

DanaJ: That's what I was thinking as well; it's a little last minute for me though. To people just beginning their GMAT journeys, I'd suggest taking all 6 MGMAT practice exams, if even just for the difficult math prep.

Hi cbenk121,

Thanks for those words. It gives me more confidence. I face lot of difficulties in Critical reasoning and sometimes in R C and S C.

The following is the breakdown of marks taken in the last test( MGMAT):

SC
Total: 15 questions
Right: 9
Wrong: 6
% Right: 60 %


C R
Total: 14 questions
Right: 6
Wrong: 8
% Right: 43 %

R C
Total: 12 questions
Right: 6
Wrong: 6
% Right: 50 %


I would request guidance as how to improve in verbal topic. I am thoroughly studying Manhattan S C and doing problems from OG. However, I need to drastically improve in verbal score.

Thank you,
Viju

OUCH!! CR is killing you. Get PowerScore's CR Bible, stat! That book helped me boost my CR hit rate from 75% on my diagnostic to 100% on my final practice exam.

For more ideas, check out my GMAT debrief. I talk about how I prepared for each section, and what I would've done differently if I had to take it again.

Hi cbenk121 ,

Thank you very much. I will buy Powerscore CR Bible and will improvise on CR topic.

You are right about the Quant section , I have just taken MGMAT 2nd test, and Quant killed me , I was screaming WooW all the time, cause it was the first time that I had to guess blind 3-4 questions , the problems were really time consuming , and I have scored 47Q...

I would not say that the verbal in MGMAT is easier than in Gmat prep , I had almost the same score V30 against my V31 in Gmat prep1.
