Free MGMAT CAT

by barcebal » Sun Jul 18, 2010 5:48 pm
I just took the free CAT offered by MGMAT.

My math quant, which was 47 on the GMAT practice test 1 and 49 on the Free Knewton CAT, only hit 43. I thought the problems were extremely time consuming and tricky. I have done all of the OG problems and found that even the hardest OG problems were not this hard.

Anyone have any ideas? Is it because MGMAT wants to over prepare its students? Is it to discourage us with low CATs so we think we need to buy their prep?

Tack on 30 to 50 points on your MGMAT cat and you will have your real score.

Oh interesting. Is that based off your experience or something you've heard. Could you provide the source if it's not based on your experience?

Thanks.

Anybody else's experience/insight would be greatly appreciated!

Both. It's a known fact the Quant is definitely harder. My experience from the last two GMAT's was that the Verbal section is slightly easier on MGMAT.

MGMAT themselves claims there is a 50 point std deviation on their tests to the real things. I imply that to mean 50 points lower. I have never seen anyone score for example 750+ on MGMAT and get 700 on real thing. Usually other way around.
