KNEWTON CAT 5 Verbal Scoring

by b2beat » Sun Apr 22, 2012 11:29 am
I only missed 7 on the Knewton Cat 5 (none were back to back misses and I also answered the first 10 correctly and a vast majority of the last 10). I don't understand how that translates into a 34?

Screw the score man. The only algorithm that accurately reflects is GMAT Prep, though in all honesty, MGMAT isn't bad.

Use the tests for the material. I know we all like to look at the score, but I wouldn't put too much credit in the scoring mechanisms of third party programs.
