What are you guys getting in the tests?

I just did my first one, "Expected Score Range = Q47-51". Has anyone gotten higher than this?

I haven't taken one of those tests, but just for your reference: 51 is the highest possible score on the actual GMAT, so an expected score between 47 and 51 is pretty good!

Yeah, have you been getting anything closer than 47-51? I know you're a Quant God.

I took it and got the range like you. 47-51.

But I can assure you that my verbal range is nothing close to 47-51

not even 37-41

IM me if you need some help. I scored V40 a couple of weeks ago but a terrible Quant.

if you get all the problems right, it will give you an expected range of 49-51.

bacali: it certainly looks as though you're at the point where you don't terribly have to worry about bettering your quant score, though. probably a good time to focus exclusively on verbal, with some occasional quant practice thrown in there to make sure that you don't get rusty.

Thanks Ron. My only problem is I did the GMAT 3 weeks ago, got a Q42 V 40. I was average Q 47 on GMATPREP.

Kind of lost on what to study now...

if you've got that kind of differential, then the difference is almost certainly psychological. it's in your head.

Wow Ron! You hit it right on the spot.

I actually managed only 3 hours of sleep the night before my test. I'm really worried the same thing is going to happen next time I take the GMAT.

"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."
