[maihuna]

Hi all,

I am little shattered as I tried the 4 out of 4 tests of Prienston, my score are as below:

Q 48 V 37 -690 => Without AWA and Writing
Q47 V 33 -650 =>With proper awa & writing
Q44 V 28 -590 => With double awa and essay
Q50 V 34 - 680 <==Without AWA&Eriting

Meanwhile, I have completed Kaplan tests as well, it gives me 650 with following details:
Date: 11/01/09
Q 46, V 36 - 650
In quant, wrong are 3, in verbal 14(CR-6, RC-4, SC-4).
Can any one please help me evaluating these, and let me know further about some more realistic practice tests apart from gmatprep

Veritas free test completed but coudnt saw results,

Q-50, V-34, total : 700(dissapointed)
Wrong: Q-8, DS-2, PS-6
Verbal: 12, SC-9, RC-3, CR0(many CR's were repeats)
Dont know when the hell will improve on SC:
Pattern of mistake: 3 in block, 2 in two blocks wrong..I need to kill such blocks...

Repeat GMAT Prep 2: 740(was looking to do better in quant)
Q 50, Wrong 7 PS-3 DS-4
V 40, Wrong 8 RC-2 SC-3 CR-2
(Many questions were repeat, one RC from previous exam, several CR some SC's, many math Q) What should I infer? Pathetically moving it seems...help me get 750+ in at least some of the tests boss...?

Second Repeat GMAT Prep 2: 770(was looking to do better in quant)
Q 51, Wrong 7 PS-0 DS-3
V 44, Wrong 6 RC-1 SC-4 CR-1
(Many questions were repeat, one RC from previous exam, two RC's from Gmatprep1 taken quite some time back, several CR some SC's, many math Q) What should I infer? Pathetically moving it seems...?

Actual test on 2nd march 2009:
Q->47 V->37 680 AWA 5.5

I am not satisfied with above score...and willing to fight another battle....probably for 750+

My main aim is to score 51 in Quant and 41+ in V...

Knewton test: Its useless, trying to mimic hard questions of Gmatprep...took on 14th March..got
Q-48 V-36 700..

You're "shattered" over a 690?! If that was your most recent score, you're doing very well and improving a lot! A 100 point improvement is excellent, and a 690 is over 90th percentile and good enough for just about any MBA program, assuming the rest of your application is up to par.

Try to look on the bright side!

Hi Jim,

Thanks a lot. I have taken all these three tests on three continuous days. So all are recent only. issue is about Prienston tests accuracy? Actually I have attempted most of the OG questions repeatedly and most of them are repeated in GMATPrep so I do not count Gmatprep a true one. Though I am about to attempt Gmatprep in a day or so.
Regards,
