Ask a Kaplan representative

Hi All ,

I recently took the kaplan tests and I just want to know how this compares with the actual scores one can get on the GMAT.
Also one more puzzling thing i noticed especially in the quant section was that even though my mistakes were fewer in no. compared to previous tests my scaled score was dropping.

Given below are my actual scores in the 3 tests i took :
cat 1 : Quant scaled score : 50 (Correct 28 wrong 8)
cat 2 : Quant scaled score : 42 (Correct 30 wrong 7)
Cat 3 : Quant scaled score: 38 (Correct 31 wrong 5 not attempted 1)

Could some body explain why it is so..

Also in my second cat my score were Quant 42 and verbal 32 overall score 600
However in my 3rd cat my scaled scores were compartively lesser Quant 38 and verbal 33.. but my overall score was 610.

Could u please explain how so ... ?

Thanks in advance
