Hi everybody
Is it normal that I scored very recently MGMAT 640, 650 and GMAT Prep 660
And score IN Order from first to last : 640, 580, 620, 520, 560 with knewton !!
I feel that during the exams the questions with knewton, the questions are just way to easy, I end with around a dozen mistakes per sections.
Is the algorithm just off or is it me ??

I had given MGMAT tests and the scores were reliable indicator after GMATPrep.
I am yet to take Knewton practice tests.

If the knewton question were too easy then how did you end up making dozen mistakes per section?

i have given mgmat test these are good test and questions are really tricky i score 600 but i have given one knewton test i was very hard both quant and verbal i score only 510 but that time i have statred the knewton course and after one month i have given mgmat test and scored 600. i would say mgmat tests are good and very similar to gmatprep tests. so take mgmat score as your level. knewton test may be tougher due to promotion of their courses

yeah
i think there strategy is score low on our diagnostic, then for sure you will get more than 50 points at the real exam so that there warranty works.
I mean how ridiculous is it that after 2 months of studying I am 80 points under my diagnostic ! lol

I am going to stick to mgmat and gmatprep

anybody had a bad experience with knewton ??

"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."
