anyone? [i'm sure you've done this so many times that requests such as these are rather tedious!]

eric: does a rep at MANHATTAN GMAT get an email, when someone posts a message here? if they don't then you must add the feature, so we don't need to "PM" the rep individually.

thanks

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed response. I do check our own forums at Manhattan GMAT slightly more regularly than these ones, and if you have any questions for which you need an immediate response from us, you can always call us at 1 800-576-4628 or send us an email at [email protected]

In terms of predicting scores, I cannot predict how any individual will do on testing day. What I can tell you is that our tests have a standard deviation of around 50 points, and that the GMAT Prep ones have an SD of around 30 points. Based on your scores, if you have been taking them in a simulated testing environment (ie, no food or water during the test, no pausing, making sure to write the essay sections and only 8 minute breaks between sections) then you should be able to score in the range you were scoring on our tests. It looks like at the moment your ability level is around a 680 or so.


In terms of improving, it would be important to analyze what you have been doing to prepare. Have you been going through material, or just taking the tests? How long did you leave between each tests? What strategies did you use for tackling problems? How is your timing? Are you able to finish each section? All of these are important factors in improving your score.

Best Wishes,
Caitlin

i appreciate your response. i've been taking 1 test a week. strict timing. i've been struggling with sentence correction. 50% accuracy on the MGMAT exams. i've had 95%ile+ scores on my sat and gre math and usually in math, given enough time i can solve all problems. the verbal SC is killing me! i guess i really need to see patterns. let me give a GMATPREP exam and see how i do. the MGMAT SC seems tricky! :)

680, thats what i wanted to hear! 700 why do you elude me :)

thanks caitlin.
