Calculating your score

by crackthetest » Sun Nov 29, 2009 6:03 pm
Hello,
I found this formula from Kaplan to evaluate your score for the paper tests you take. Can someone please let me know how far is the deviation from the actual score? (I know this is tough Q to answer)

Thanks!

Total Right answers - (0.25 * total wrong answers) = Raw Score

Raw Quant Percentile
37-34 54-51 99
33 50 96
32 49 91
31 48 87
30 47 83
29 46 80
28 45 78
27 44 74
26 43 71


Raw Verbal Percentile
41-36 50-45 99
35 44 97
34 43 97
33 42 96
32 41 93
31 40 90
30 39 89
29 38 85
28 37 83
27 36 81

there is no way to calculate your score based on paper tests results. the GMAT scoring algorithm takes into account # of questions correct, # of correct in a row, level of relative difficulty of the questions gotten right or wrong, etc. etc.

just use paper tests as practice for the content, not for scoring. if you want to estimate your score, only do it using a computer adaptive , full length test
my GMAT debrief: https://www.beatthegmat.com/came-through ... 44327.html

You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right, but it will not come near you.

- Psalm 91: 5-7
