800 tests- score

by venmic » Sun May 22, 2011 1:41 pm
Hi I just want to know how valid is the 800 tests.
I did a 800 verbal test and scored a 37 on it
Just wanted to know is that a valid score to count or no

I saw this fr the first time though

22- 41 correct

1-5 2 wrong
6-10 1 wrong
11-20 2 wrong

total wrong 19

still scored - 37

and concreated very well on the first 20

How valid is this please suggest

Again it is a 800 verbal test (only)

on the real test you will probably score about the same
800 score test validity is high!
Success doesn't come overnight!

Even I have tried 800Score's Verbal tests. Do not rely on the score they give, their algo. is VERY different from the actual algorithm. But indeed, 800Score have good problems for prac. and should only be solved for practice, don't even look at the scores they give.

If you want to predict your scores, rely on GMAT Prep or MGMAT CAT's.
