Hi everyone,

I've just suscribed to the 60-Day GMAT Study Guide and I just want to share my journey.

I finished the diagnostic test and I don't know how to interpret my result.

I have a question. Is it possible ton convert the score obtained from the diagnostic test?

I mean I got a 18/24 for PS a 17/24 for DS (i.e. 35/48 for Quant section); 15/17 for RC 14/17 for CR and 13/18 for SC (i.e. 42/52 for Verbal). All sections "Above average" except RC ( "Excellent")

However, I think I should improve my pace but anyway...any feedback on others scores?

Glad to see that you are kicking off your 60 days of study!

With regard to your diagnostic test, I wouldn't focus on trying to convert those results into scores. The short answer is: you cant. This initial diagnostic is meant to help you quickly assess where your strengths and weaknesses lie. This is important to know because you may want to focus more time in certain areas and less in others as you prepare.

There will be practice tests later on in this study guide that will actually output simulated GMAT test scores, with the raw scores and total GMAT score you're probably expecting. Until then, don't worry too much about score conversion.

I hope this helps, good luck!

I ll be waiting for the other test to get an "accurate" or at least estimated GMAT score.
