princeton review practice test

by hemant_rajput » Sat Jun 08, 2013 10:21 am
Today I took Practice test of Princeton review. I scored 50Q,31V - 650 . The weird thing is that I answer 32 out of 41 correctly and still my score came as 31V; I've score 35V by correctly answering only 23 or 21 question on other exam. That thing just throw me back. I'm not even sure about how close was this test to the real GMAT, as I was seeing comparatively very easy question on Quant section also. Can someone tell me why is there is so much of discrepancy ?
I'm no expert, just trying to work on my skills. If I've made any mistakes please bear with me.

I'm not entirely sure how the Princeton Review test works, but if it's computer adaptive (like the official GMAT), then your scores are not based on how many questions you answer correctly; they're based on the level of difficulty of the questions you answer correctly.
