Score Confusion

by trishna26 » Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:58 pm
I'm a bit confused..

I just did Kaplans CAT 4 and got an overall score of 500 - terrible, I know. They broke it down to Quant= 34 and Verbal= 40.

I then looked at some score calculators online:
1. https://gmatclub.com/gmat-score-calculator/ --> this one has it at 600??
2. https://www.800score.com/score2.html ---> this one has it at 610??

Am I missing something?

My test is on Monday - I'm rescheduling because I need at least a 650. I'm just not sure how much more time to give myself...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You should definitely get more than 500 with those scores in quant and verbal. I'm not entirely sure you'd get a 650, though. Kaplan tests are known to have some bugs at times, especially their free test, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

How about taking GMATPrep from mba.com? This is a much better indicator of your score!
