How do my Practice scores project? [#permalink] New post   19 Jul 2009, 15:16
Hi all new here,

I got a 610, for my first practice test (Pearson on-line). Then after a little bit of math studying (not too much), took the Kaplan diagnostic (paper and pencil, no essays) and got a 660. Anyone know how these scores project. I've read Kaplan's are harder than the real test but then I read that that's not the case anymore.

What do you mean? The test itself was at the Kaplan test site.

Kaplan tests on CD are harder and are anywhere between 50 and 100 points under your real GMAT score. I am yet to see the change in their scoring algorithm. Paper and Pencil - not so sure.

Thanks bb. Maybe it was because it was only my first test, but I thought that the Pearson test was a lot harder. Couple that with me doing research and finding that supposedly now Kaplan is a lot more realistic than before (i.e. easier), I was thinking that it may not be harder than the actual test. Either way, I hope that the 660, with Kaplan and studying on the side can get me a 700 at least. Then again the actual test with the pressure and all is a different animal.

Interesting that the GMATPrep, projects lower (my 610 projects to a 590 as opposed to my 660 on the Kaplan projecting to a 740), yet I found it significantly harder than the Kaplan test. Once again, maybe the paper and pencil test was just easier than the CD is.
