Princeton Review GMAT CAT Scoring

by b2beat » Sat Oct 29, 2011 11:38 am
Hi,

Can anyone please tell me how the PR CAT tests compare to the actual scoring? In my opionion, I am not even sure how adaptive these test are (they dont seem adaptive at all). PR claims that they are adaptive but the scoring seems pretty harsh in terms of the number of questions that I get correct compared to what I get wrong.

Does anyone have any option on the Math and Verbal section of this CAT and the scoring?

Thanks.

I In fact totally agree with you. Have been Happening to u as well. To me they give TOO much emphasis
on the first few questions and u cant get a score regardless of how many correct you get.

BTW.. did u use their Practice test system?

Yeah. I do not think it is adaptive. I dont understand. Is there anyone who works at PR who can please explain this to me?

Move on Bud.

MGMAT, Kaplan and knewton have each got one free mock GMAT . Give them. No point in looking for why their test is like that. To be honest, i am not looking at scores any more, just looking on being prepared for the test day! :)

I guess you are right, but paying 1K for a course, I would want some explanation...
