I am working my way through practice books, which are not like the CAT.

If I generally get 8/10 questions correct, what score would I expect?
How about for 9/10?
What percent of questions approximately should be correct to get over a 700?

Thank you!

i think the answer to your question depends on the difficulty level of the questions you are solving. the way i understand it, candidates can score sub 700 scores even if they get 8-10 questions wrong, assuming they get constantly bombarded with sub 700 level questions.

In general, I wouldn't spend time trying to analyze what hit rate is necessary to get a certain score. Because the GMAT is computer adaptive and different questions earn different scoring weights, it's almost impossible to map # of questions correct to a certain performance.

Just focus on getting as many questions as you can correct. :)

how to prepare?

by captainglyde » Sat Sep 13, 2008 1:12 pm
I appreciate the replies. The problem is that I want to be able to guage my preparedness. If my goal is to crack 700, how do I know when I am ready to take the test (given that prep books are not CATs)?

Thanks!

I believe the answer to that question is practice tests, especially the GMATPrep practice tests. Once you find you are consistently scoring in a range near your target, I think you are ready.

Just to put things in perspective - I just took GMATPrep2.

Had 9(!) errors in quantative and still got a 50 (out of 51) - this includes a series of 6 out of 9 wrong towards the end!

Had 5 errors in verbal and got a 44 (out of 49).

Came out to a 760.

A friend of mine got the same score with 6 Q errors and 7 V errors

So I guess the two things we can learn are: (a) there's no exact correlation between number of errors to grade; and (b) you can make 14 mistakes on the test and still get a 760.

I just hope GMATPrep simulates the real thing well. Will know this Wednesday...

This is probably why this test is called a CAT right ?
