HELP PLEASE....What do these score results mean? [#permalink] New post 11 Oct 2006, 10:50
I've just taken the pratice questions on the GMATPrep download.

Here are may results:

Quantitative:

1. Problem solving: 10/15
2. Data Sufficiency: 9/15

Total quantitative score = 19 / 30 = 63 %

Verbal:
1. Reading comprehension: 10/15
2. Sentence correction: 12/15
3. Critical reasoning: 11/15

Total verbal score = 33/45 = 73 %

Does anyone know how this would equate to in terms of a rough GMAT score?

I'm a medical doctor and I've got the GMAT in 4 weeks time. This is the first time I've actually done questions? How is it for a 1st go? I need to get >680 or so as applying to top MBA programs.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Um, when you finish didn't it give you a final score? Somthing like:

Quantitative: XX
Verbal: XX
Total: XXX

The raw numbers really don't mean anything because it is a CAT (computer adaptive test). You get different level questions based on your ongoing performance. It's not possible to calculate a score for either section, or a final score, based just on the number of right or wrong. Also, you seem to be missing a few questions. There are 37 & 41 questions per section.

Was this the GMATprep software that you were using?

I didn't do the actual test, just the practice questions and was wondering whether there is any way to correlate them to an actual GMAT score.
