A week left for GMAT: A query [#permalink] New post   28 Jun 2014, 02:29
Hello Everyone

My GMAT is on 9th July.

I have attempted 3 MGMATs and scored 710, 640 and 690 . My other scores include: 750 in Kaplan and 720 in Veritas Prep.

I have also attempted GMAT Prep CATs, scoring 740 and 730 respectively. I plan to attempt them once more, just before the 9th.

Based on the scores above, can you please tell me about the kind of score I can expect on the actual GMAT?

I had one more query. As I mentioned, I scored 740 in GMAT Prep 1, Quant-50 and Verbal-40. I got 9 incorrect in Quant and 10 incorrect in Verbal. In GMAT Prep 2, I scored 730 even though I got 6 incorrect in Quant and 8 incorrect in Verbal.

Could someone please help me understand this apparent anomaly?

Plan to attempt the other MGMATs in the next 4-5 days.

Thanks and regards

:)

gmat score depends on how many questions you have incorrected in a row so check the interval between the incorrect questions and follow that you can skip few question in between but dont do incorrect in a row at the end because of time or other constraint.

second gmat is all about how calm you are at the test day so donot estimate any score before the test just give you best to each questions.and i recommend you donot exaust youself before the test just relax 1 day or 2 before the test so that you can concentrate more on the test day

so just chill and give you best


and also give kudos if you like the post

and if you still want more details on gmat scoring read the blog on Manhattan and gmat club forum on the scoring of gmat

A score can dip from one exam to another even with the same amount of knowledge or the same percentage of correct/incorrect. The GMAT scoring algorithm takes many factors into account including where you make errors, how many mistakes you commit in a row, whether you finish both sections or leave questions out, whether the last few questions of either section seemed like they were guessed at, how you felt on test day, etc. These factors can all affect your score.

From one test to the next you can easily jump +/- 30 points (and even up to 80 or so) depending on where the mistakes are made. *Where* you make mistakes can often be more important than how many. Overall, when a student wants to know where he/she stands, the best way to do so is to take the average after a few sim tests. This should get you to a fairly close estimation of where you are at.

In general, our students tend to score within about +/- 30 points or so from what they get on our tests and the GMAT test preps.

Be sure to stick with your timing per question. I was scoring 650+ on practice tests before my first actual gmat, and totally overlooked timing. I had 15 quant questions left with 20 mins, that being the fall to 620 gmat IMO. Second time around, I'm preparing heavily with time constraints.
