I took one more verbal challenge. Upon reflecting, I think they are not too bad in terms of content. With maybe CR being a slight exception. What I noticed with CR is that there are almost always 2 close answers with the rest being very silly and easily eliminable. I think on the GMAT you have 2 types of CR - the easy ones which do not have any close choices but the wrong ones are not totally silly, and hard ones where you may have 2 close choices but the remaining are also not to far off. The structure of the verbal challenges, however, needs improvement. There are only 3 RC passages although they constitute the same number of questions (around 14). There should be the standard 4 passages - 2 shorter ones and 2 longer ones. Otherwise, time-wise people may get misled. Also, I noticed a series of SCs or CRs, sometimes 5-6 in a row. Those should be more intermingled with at most three of a kind in a row. Oh, one more thing, the SCs seemed very short, although some were tricky. I think the GMAT gives you a balanced load of short and longer SCs.

I don't know about the real GMAT but compared with GMATPrep I average around the same number of questions wrong ( 6-9 ) and I score between 40-42 on average. So that can be some sort of a gauge.

I took only the first Verbal challenge and was appalled to get so many wrongs in RC and CR compared to what I'd get in GMATPrep/PowerPrep/1000 before the repeats. It was more like the MGMAT Verbal than the real thing. I noticed that there were some very close answers in RC. As far as CR, the passages were generally very short but tricky.

I found the math very challenging but the verbal was really poor. Most of the answers were very obvious. It also reported my percentile score as NaN(not a number) for the verbal score. I took the free tests. I was thinking of buying the whole set but I don't think the verbal will be of any value to me.

The difficulty seems about the same level as other practice tests. I did notice that there were a few questions that the only difference was a comma vs no comma. I didn't see that on old gmat exams.

I jus finished my V06 test.... got 38 correct out of 41 questions. 1 each wrong in SC, CR and RC. and a percentile of 94%. Any idea on what is the expected GMAT veral score (out of 60) for a similar result like this... Thanks in advance

I too think, verbal needs bit of improvement. RC paras I found little tougher on GMATprep (real test awaited on Monday). SCs sentences are shorter, and CR I didnt find two closer (and confusing) answers on single questions. Hope you get my idea. Thanks for asking, I was too little confused about the questions in verbal (whether they resemble the actual game)!

I think gmatlclub should create more verbal tests rather than current 6 tests :D

Thanks. Took the test and scored a 44 on verbal which i have never done on any of my tests on gmat prep and the manhattan, i think the scoring looks a bit off and the questions seem really simple.. My avg score on the other simulated tests is around 35 so i am still reeeling from the schock - none the less the test is great for me to do some practice tests..
