This is my second time appearing for GMAT. Last time i got more than 650 on the GMAT prep, but some how got only 500 on the actual GMAT. Yesterday, i took the new GMAT prep test, i got 640. The interesting thing is i got 13 incorrect in math and 17 incorrect in verba but i still got 45 in math and 34 in verbal. Is the score in GMAT prep always calculated properly or is it possible that the software has a bug. The other day i took some other test, in which i only got 6 incorrect still i only got 43 in math. Some one please help- is 640 a real indicator for my score.. ?
Hi,
There is no bug in the software. There are actually only around 24 questions in Maths which are rated others are experimental.
As you might already know that questions carry different weightage based on the difficulty level.
Considering these two factors you cant conclude anything relation between scaled score and number of correct answers.
To get good score try to get maximum hard level questions right.
1 recomendation for quant, you can try gmatfocus from www.mba.com
this is a new product they offer , buy the 3 test package.
It will give u a score report about how well you perform for different difficulty level.
Cheers
