Hey guys ,

I just took an online Kaplan practice test , the CAT that comes with the GMAT premier program . I scored a 660 ( Q 42 V 41) . I was really surprised by this score , because two weeks ago I took the first Kaplan Practice test and scored a 570 ( Q 40 V 27) . Granted I was really sleepy when I took the first one . I haven't touched the Manhattan GMAT books or the OG's yet .

1. What would my score on the actual gmat be ? I tried the GMATCLUB score predictor and it said 740 !! Could that really be possible ?

2. I got 12 questions wrong in the verbal section , but despite that I still scored a 41 in verbal . Is that possible or is it some mistake ??

Hi george paul,

The tests that come with Kaplan GMAT Premier are pretty accurate. If you're getting a 660 on those tests, you're most likely at or about 660 on the real test. But if there is any doubt, the best bet is to take an official GMATprep test to get the most accurate score possible.

Good luck with your prep!
