MGMAT Vs REAL GMAT

by mbamike » Sun Sep 07, 2008 5:20 pm
Hi,
I got 630 and 650 respectively in the first two MGMAT CATs.

I am trying to get a sense of how much those who score around 650 in MGMAT CATs actually score on the real exam. Any rough estimate will help me gauge my coordinates...thanks people!

Mike

Hi mbamike,

While ManhattanGMAT practice exams do a pretty good job matching up with a student's performance on a real exam, it's important not to place too much weight into any given practice exam. Given your two scores, however, it would be safe to say that you would score in the 610 - 680 range on the exam. I know this is a pretty large range, but the GMAT itself actually has a 30 point standard deviation, meaning that if you have a 650 ability level, you can score anywhere between 620 - 680 and still be at the same level as a test-taker.

I hope this helps. Good luck studying!
