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...

"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."
