Online Free Tests (Veritas & Princeton)

by 2014robin » Wed Jun 05, 2013 7:03 am
Hi guys,

Before nything else, I am writing GMAT in 10 days!!!!!!!

After 15 days of prep, today I wrote my second GMAT practice test today. First one was GMATPrep (610 48Q, 28V)without any preparation.

After 15 days, when I am done with all fundamentals & have finished at least 80% of OG, I am very disappointed with the scores I got today.

Princeton (Morning 9:30 am) - 610 :oops: (47Q 28V)
I was totally taken aback with my score. Although the number of correct answers have improved vs. GMAT Prep1 (V 30 corct vs. 25 crct) (Q 30 corct vs. 24 crct). I hope there is an issue with algorithm.

I took an afternoon nap after reviewing the test and wrote another one out of disgust. This time Veritas.
Score: 680 (47Q 36V)
Though I felt happier looking at the score, but again was unhappy coz my correct answers in Verbal had decreased (28 V)I again think some serious issue is there with the algorithm here.

I strongly believe these scores are not depicting any real GMAT performance. But if they are right I am sooooo disappointed with these scores.

My focus is to get the number of correct ones up every time. I no more want to focus on scores.

I need GMAT score above 720 so what do you think should be the number of Correct Questions target for me?

Also I wish to focus on test taking strategies during these days because I am making silly mistakes in tests.Please pour in your suggestions guys.

Regards/Nibor

The number correct varies greatly it is really the difficulty. I would say that GMAT Prep test is a pretty good indicator. You are looking for a big jump in verbal in a short period of time. Have you considered pushing it back?

Hey Jim,

I think I should face the reality that 720 is way tooo difficult. But still I wish to keep 700 as my target.

Can you suggest some test taking strategies?

Regards.
