Hi nsuen, Have you tried reaching out to your Kaplan tutor? That person has worked with you and could use that familiarity to talk through the experience with you and help you try to figure out why you saw such a difference in performance between practice and your official test day. Your tutor would...

Hi Narendra.Bande, On Kaplan CAT score reports, the section score should appear as a relatively large purple number, with the percentile given as a smaller gray number beside that score. You should also have received a score on the 200-800 scale that appears first. If your scores are not displaying ...

Hi jainh, I have some ideas that I would like to share to help you make the best use of the Kaplan CATs you have taken. You mention pacing issues in particular.

According to information on the GMAC's website, the margin of error on the real GMAT is about 41 points. For example, if a test taker scored a 570 ...
