Hello guys,

How good are IMS GMAT tests? (For those who don't know,IMS is a GMAT coaching institute in India)
How accurate are their score calculation methods?

Actually I took a IMS GMAT CAT today & got a very low score.
& I don't understand how??
Quant : 22 , Verbal : 18.5, Total score -550

Before taking this test I had taken below three tests

A) GMAT Prep----around 20 days back
Quant : 49 , Verbal : 22 Total score -590
B) Knewton----around 10 days back
Quant : 46 , Verbal : 25 Total score -590
C) Manhattan----2 days back
Quant : 46 , Verbal : 28 Total score -690

Please share your thoughts...

wondering how you got 550 ?? When I had first given official gmat prep test , I got Quant (41) and verbal (24) and my score was 560 . With 22 in Quant and 18 in verbal you are supposed to get < 500 ..... I have never given IMS tests , neither I intend too as there are many other well-recognized tests (like gmat prep , power prep , kaplan , princeton , manhattan etc) you can give to gauge your level .

Thanks ysr for your comments
I think I should proceed with kaplan & manhattan tests
Also I found that IMS tests contain many geometry problems
I have heard that GMAT doesn't give much weightage to Geometry

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
