Enhanced GMAT Score Reports Coming Feb 2015


GMAC is releasing a new product some of you may have heard already - an Enhanced GMAT Score report - it is an optional product you may purchase after you take your test for $25 Update: The enhanced report will be available retroactively as far back as October 2013.

My guess is that only those who may want to retake the test will purchase it to understand some of their weaknesses and perhaps check the suspicions. It has a split of scores/performance based on each general category such as Critical Reasoning or PS. The only two topic-specific parameters are Algebra/Gometry and Arithmetic. These will be hard to use to figure out specific performance on probability or any other question type. However, some may find it useful - my only stretch here is that perhaps CR/RC/SC split in terms of percentiles will help folks to zero in on specific Verbal areas and that's worth hours and days of time savings potentially. I am really curious how it will be used as I am scratching my head right now.... you have more thoughts?

Here is the PDF Original if you want a high quality copy

This is great, I agree with your assessment. I think the most valuable part would be to help a student identify how they did on say problem solving vs. data sufficiency. The same holds true for the verbal, the result can shed some light on how one did on RC, CR, and SC. That is about the only value of this report. The breakdown between Algebra and Arithmetic is of very little value.

The average time is not of much help, perhaps, they could show the distribution of time spent on questions. This would help see if a student spent an inordinate amount of time on certain questions.

I wish they made this standard part of the report, and not have students shell out more money.

Cheers,
Dabral

Hi BB

That's a great news. But as a retaker I wanted to know if this report will be available to GMAT candidates retroactively ? I gave my GMAT in Oct 2014, so I am hoping that the report can go atleast that far back .

Thanks

Hi BB,

I think you should include this info "We just heard that the Enhanced Score Report will be available for all exams taken after October 2013." right at the top, since this is the first thing that people would wonder after knowing this service is made available. :)

True. :thumbup:
Even their report bears "BETA" in big words.

I think it is also nice to know the number of IR questions you answered correctly.

It seems that the only section that displays correct/total is IR. In the example we can conclude that the test taker got 7 out of 12 correct.

Do you have an idea on the exact day that the Enhanced Score Report will be available? (beginning or end of February)?

Is the Beta enrollment still available?

Also, once the test taker request and pay for the report, how long does it take to receive the report? Also, is the score report fulfill through email or mail?

Thanks.

I was thinking in my last post (how humble!) and I figured out that this way GMAC will sometimes be releasing the number of experimental questions the IR section contained.

If the correct/total percentage is a number with several possible combinations such as 50%, then more than one option is possible: 4/8, 5/10, 6/12 correct (4, 2, and 0 experiemental qustions correspondingly).

If the correct/total percentage is a unique combination such as 58% (7/12 correct, thus 0 experimental questions) or 56% (5/9 correct, thus 3 experimental question), then GMAT will not only be releasing the number of correct/total questions but also the number of experimental questions in IR.

What do you think, bb?

How can I get this? I see some people got it for free. I also want this, but I gave my exam back in August 2013. Please let me know how can I get this for myself.

As pointed by bb above, the report is only available if you took the exam after October 2013.

Interesting idea. What would this knowledge give you or enable you to do? knowing you had 3 experimental questions for example?

Actually my point is that I am surprised that GMAC releases this kind of information: the number of experimental questions a section had. That was it.

As per your question of what this would provide the test taker... Well, not much... One may think that if one got an IR score that is unrepresentative of how well/bad one thought it went, having a big number of experimental questions (3 or 4) might have been the culprit.

In similar lines, if we at Gmat Club were to get a large pool of data of test takers asking for this information, we may get a sense of how many experimental questions the IR section tends to have.

Maybe I am assuming too much...

Hi bb

Thank you for the information. One last question is whether the report will be downloadable as a PDF as soon as you finish the transaction on MBA.com or will it be mailed as a hard copy (with additional days for postage and shipping etc )?

I do not think anything is mailed these days so i think it will be available either with your official score report or perhaps almost immediately after taking the GMAT(?)... and yes, I think it will be a download.

Hi bb

I ask because I gave my GMAT in October 2014 and as this is a new product that I need to purchase from MBA.com, I won't have this option of downloading this with my score report. I believe that you can only download your official score report once with the code provided right after the GMAT. I don't think we can download the score report later ??

You can recover your score report it is just not easy. You just need the code and if you lost it, you need to contact pearson. However, there may be a finally easier system for recovering your score report (or so i hope)
