Hi, I have just went through ETS 2006 edition CD Reading section trial 1, my accuracy for all three passages was 85.7% (I put no special effort, just read once and answered all questions) - how effectively this could be translated to Ibt score? Should I expect above or below 26 points in Ibt?

hey i got hold of kaplan ibt disk and longman ibt stuff - plan to increase accuracy in reading up to 100%

My knowledge frontiers came to evolve the GMATPill's methods - the credited study means to boost the Verbal competence. I really like their videos, especially for RC, CR and SC. You do check their study methods at https://www.gmatpill.com

Hmm... I think there's a scale score converter at the end of the book, although I can't remember exactly... I think you get 1 point for each question you answer correctly and 2 points for the last, more complex question, and they should add up to 30?

@NR, be careful, even i was good at reading in gmat as wel as toefl pracatice, but on the real exam i got 100 mins of reading on an old CRT monitor,
i really got pissed and even took a break to visit the washroom at about the 80th minute.

I have 27-28 in all other sections but 23 on reading, TOEFL reading aint difficult but it can be irritating. especially if u get the extra reading section.

Cheers !!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
