I took the free Princeton Review test last night (as advertised on BTG!), and I do not agree with the score I received. I answered over 80% of the quant, and 70% of the verbal questions correctly (which is the highest accuracy rate I have had on any of my 5 practice tests), yet my score was slightly below my normal average. If I answered more questions correctly on this test than on any other practice, shouldn't I have received a higher score?

My conspiracy theory is that Princeton Review has incentive to artificially lower your score so that you are more likely to pay for their services.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with this free Princeton Review practice test?

Thank you!

I doubt if a company like Princeton would do that.

There is no such rule that if you answer more percentage correctly, you will get a better score. It depends on what kind of answers you got right and wrong.

Is your test score really that low compared to your expectations and the previous round you took it?

Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert.
