GMATPrep Scoring

by BlueRain » Sat Aug 02, 2008 11:37 pm
Just curious about how accurate the scoring is on GMATPrep software.

Q: 51 (missed 5 out of 37)
V: 41 (missed 10 out of 41)
Unofficial score: 760 (woot?)

I am not sure if 51 was possible while missing FIVE questions. It's possible that I missed all the hardest questions, but still, 51?.

Plus, I'm seeing many recent threads now about scoring significantly lower going from GMATPrep to the real test, so I am wondering if anyone can comment on the scoring.

Technically you may have gotten only "pilot" questions wrong while getting all "real" questions right. Seems unlikely, but not impossible.

The other weird thing is that all 5 questions I missed were DS.
19/19 on PS, and 13/18 on DS. Maybe the difficulty scale skews more toward the PS?

The GMATPrep test is the most accurate indicator so it should definitely be woots if you scored 760. Your score doesn't depend on the number you get incorrect only the difficult of the questions you get correct so the 5 questions you missed could have been questions that very, very few test takers ever get right (if any).

Keep practicing and taking cats (good quality respected cats: MGMAT, GMATPrep, PR) and see if your other scores are similar, which I am guessing they will be.
