Princeton material

by iomail » Fri Jul 13, 2007 9:19 am
Hi everyone!
I'm an Italian student, and I'm supposed to take the GMAT in a couple of days. Right now I'm practicing through the princeton review material, and I would like to ask you something:
1) I heard that someone pointed at Princeton Reviw Quantitative questions as too easy. What do you think about that?
2) Using the GMAT CAT software on the princeton review, I scored Quantitative=45, Verbal=35, Composite=65. Hence next to composite 65 there's a 7 a little upwards compared to the rest of the number. What does it mean in terms of final grade??
Thank you in advance!

Marco

It's my opinion that the PR scoring algorithm is pretty decent--my PR scores ended up be somewhat close to my actual performance. The question in PR however, were slightly easier than what I saw on the real test.

With regards to your second question--I have no clue what those numbers mean! I've never seen PR report out results like that (65 & 7)...
