Hi all...

Glad to be a part of such a wonderful community,beat the gmat.
Btw, I am planning to take my Gmat on sept 9.just a week to go..
I am totally puzzled about the fact that am getting low scores in Gmat prep than the other cats.
My scores:
powerprep1 700
powerprep2 670
MGMAT1 670 q47 v34
GMATPREP1 620 q48 v27
MGMAT2 660 q47 v33
MGMAT3 670 q43 v38
MGMAT4 680
GMATPREP2 620 q49 v27

I am aiming for 700+ score. I am totally dejected with my gmat prep scores..people say gmat prep scores reflect your actual gmat scores..I need to score 700+ in gmat ... tell me what to do in these ten days.awaiting your suggestions.

Unfortunately, most people are right in evaluating GMATprep as the most accurate thing out there. PowerPrep is the old version of GMATprep and many have noted that its questions are slightly on the easier side of things. Most prep companies do not get the question style down just right, so there's room for error in the MGMAT scores.

I know this is not what you want to hear, but it's better you know the truth. IMHO, you should just go for the test, with weak areas focus for your last days of prep.

All the best and let us know what happens!

I have the same problem. It's pretty lame.

I know people say the first 10 questions aren't more important, but if you miss 4-5 in the first 10 questions your score is doomed.
