Hi all,

I started studying GMAT in March. In March 21st I took a CAT test with GMATPrep and got a score of 570 (Q44, V25). Today I took another CAT test with Powerprep and got a score of 560 (Q47, V20)!!! I can not understand what is going wrong with my Verbal. I answered correctly 25/41 Verbal and got a score of 20

It's even worse than my previous score 2 months ago with GMATPrep. As far as I know, GMATPrep and Powerprep are among the most accurate tests of GMAT.

Does it mean I have not had any progress in my Verbal Section???????

Thank you.

Hi TrueLie,

I'd be careful not to draw too many conclusions on the results of one test. Scores can fluctuate from test to test. A lot of the debriefs in the "I Just Beat the GMAT" forums include students' practice test scores, and there you will fluctuations greater than those you've experienced.

My advice is to stay confident and know that you are, indeed, progressing.

Cheers,
Brent

Hi,

Thank you very much for your invaluable advice.
I have just taken another CAT test with Manhattan and this time I got 700 (Q47, V39)

Maybe the last time I did not prepare well for the test.

Once again, thank you very much.

"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."
