Kaplan Practice Test [#permalink] New post   30 Jun 2016, 10:00
Hey Everyone!!

I've been on this board for a few years but I never post. Here is my store in a nutshell. I graduated in 2012 with a B.S. in Management Accounting. I wanted to pursue my CPA exam but I need about 6 classes to sit for the exam. The only way I see doing this is to get my Masters in Accounting. I took the GMAT twice and score 350 & 360- :(. This has been going on for over 4 years. I finally decided to buckle down and get to studying.

I took the Kaplan practice test on Tuesday and my score was a 470!!! I was so happy!!! This is not the best score but the school that I'm looking at requires at least a 450 or higher. I'm not sure if Kaplan test is as hard as the GMAT Test but I was proud of my results. So far I have used:

GMAT Official Guide 13 edition
GMAT Club Forum
Error Log-found on website
MAGOOSH Video Explanations of Official Guide 13

Please keep me in your prayers as I am looking to take the test in either September, October, or early November so I can get this ball rolling. If you guys know any additional GMAT resources please let me know!!! Praying for you all that are on your journey as well.[/size][/size]

Hi whitdiva23,

Since your overall score goal is so modest, you should take advantage of the fact that you don't have to get ANY of the hard/weird questions correct - so you can dump any questions that you just don't understand how to answer (just take a quick guess and move on). Since you won't be 'wasting' time on questions that don't matter to your score, you can spend that extra time making sure that you're correctly answering the 'gettable' questions (you can take more notes, double-check your work, etc.).

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi whitdiva23,

I'm glad you were pleased with your practice test results! Kaplan practice CATs have been designed to be as close to the GMAT as we can make them, in format and in score. It's good to see that you've been keeping an error log too. When you review your Kaplan practice test, you can access our explanations for help in identifying what kinds of mistakes you made so you can plan out the next stage of your studies. This will help you make the most of the practice test experience!

Best,
Jennifer Kindy

Thanks for both of your techniques for taking the exam. Although my score requirement is low, I'm still aiming for the highest score I can. I would like a scholarship of some sort so that's why I'm trying to get achieve the highest score I can. I will take the test and let you guys know my score/improvement. I really excited and happy with my score being on the rise!!! Continue to pray for me and my score!!!
