My diagnostic exam

by piyushdabomb » Fri Mar 12, 2010 7:57 pm
Hey,

I got a 540. If I sent someone my scores and whatever MGMAT provides, can someone help me analyze my results please? I'm trying to analyze my own results using the following article and I am having trouble trying to do this. The article is 'wayy' to complicated for me and I don't even know if the MGMAT exam is a strong representation of my results:

Note that I've also looked at the 'assessment' test for my diagnostic exam and don't really see anything clear cut for my score.

If someone can please help me analyze my results, I'll SERIOUSLY appreciate it! Let me know, and I'll send the results to you in the most convenient manner.
-------------------
Sincerely,

Piyush A.

Hey piyushdabomb,

I suggest that you take the official GMAT practice exam. MGMAT (or any other third party provider) tests are good...for practice. You don't want to use a copy to base your entire plan on in studying for the real thing.

I know taking another practice exam is probably not what you want to hear, but now you're used to the test, you'll likely do a little better on this Official GMAT test. Take the test (WITH the essays to simulate the real test), and post your results here.

What was your Q? What was your V? What type of questions did you tend to get right? What type of questions did you tend to miss? Then, we can analyze them together here.

Do this. Post your quant and verbal breakdown, and go through and record the type of questions you missed. What I mean is don't just go through and note that you missed 7 Sentence Correction problems, go through and note how many subject verb agreement questions you missed, how many modifier questions you missed, how many reading comprehension primary purpose questions you missed, etc. Do this and post the results here and I will see if i can help suggest a plan of action.
