Hi,

I took PR free test today and found a very very disappointing score.

640
Quant: 48 ( 33 out of 37 )
Verbal: 31 ( 30 out of 41 )

I know my verbal is not very strong but its not this much weak either. I have taken 3 Other GMAT test and scored:

MGCAT:
720 ( 49/39)
680 ( 48/35)

Veritas:
680 ( 50/37)

Can any one tell me how accurate are PR scores? I was thinking that i will score 700+ as I was more prepared. I am very demoralized right now.

with even 37/41 questions correct PR cat gives verbal 39. U can deduce a conclusion from this.

however PR verbal content is really good. Especially RC's.

Cheers !!

Quant 47-Striving for 50
Verbal 34-Striving for 40

Whoa...!! It seems like PR is doing all this so that students join its course...!!

Yeah, I agree with you its Verbal is very decent and a nice representation of actual GMAT questions. I really like its CR and RC questions.. very crispy...

I have had issues with PR verbal aswell!!

I got 35 on my first GMATPrep.. and I scored a 40 on Knewton..

Whereas PR gave me a 23.. which is like the other end of 40.. maybe i did do the test badly but a drop from 35/40 to 23 really got me disturbed!!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
