GMAT Diagnostic Test - Quest for Best GMAT Diagnostic Test

I have recently finished gmat club diagnostic test.....

And have few questions regarding my current position.....Here is my score break up...

4/15 == 650 Level difficulty

7/15 == 700 level

9/15 == 750 level ( And 3 incorrect due to calculation error...Almost i had 12/15 correct)

However i find this accuracy little weird because how can a person get the average/basic questions incorrect and getting 700 - 750 level correct mostly.....

Also after 2 months i am testing myself in any test..during this period i read MGMAT guide 1 and 4.....

Mostly i made errors in rate, geometry and algebra......

But again comming back to my question how is this possible?

Thanks BB. for these tough quant questions.

Hi Team,

I have found this very useful.First of all thanks for your initiative.Also,will you be able to give a diagnostic test for verbal that will be more useful.Thanks.Appreciated

Well,

I should say this i thought i was good at mixtures .was so confident and i simple question shakes my foundation.Phewww

My advice to all the test takers is the diagnostic tests/ gmat club test is akin to practicing a race with no competitor.

Do not waste your time comparing percentiles in diagnostic tests/ Gmat Club tests .they are not anywhere close to the real gmat percentile scores.

But yeah they are wonderful at breaking your foundations and telling you " you should go back to the drawing board"

so use them to only learn your mistakes,i think even pacing is okay as if we figure out the approach i reckon we can increase the speed.

this will be helpful i will take this soon. THANK YOU!

Thanks so much to the GMAT Club community for coming up with these questions. I am currently starting to review the final quant book for Manhattan, and these problems definitely re-enforced my problem areas (combinatorics, I'm looking at you). I plan on skimming each of these books a second time through, concentrating on my problem areas in particular.

I am currently working on trying to be at a 47 or higher for the quant. For anyone who has taken the actual exam already, are these questions on the diagnostic test comparable to the harder questions on the actual exam? I know that's what the intent of these questions is, I'm just curious as to what other people feel.

I scored a very humbling 23/45 on these questions, taking an average of 1 minute per question. How many of these questions should I be able to get right comfortably to feel confident of scoring around the 700 level on the actual exam (I know this is a subjective question, I'm just looking for a ball park figure/hearing other people's thoughts about the diagnostic test).

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I am new to the club and this is my post on the GMAT club.
I found the test really helpful in analysing my weak areas.I got 35/45.
Please suggest how to improve
a) Data Sufficiency
b) Statisitcs
c) Probability

Thanks

great questions,
percentiles won't give you an idea how you will do on an actual test - some of the questions are too lengthy in calculation but don't have an easier (more intelligent) way to be solved, plus I dont think that you can get this many questions on combinatorics. But great practice still!

Isn't there any available diagnostic tests for the verbal section

Hey Thanks for this test....I took it and 25/45 were correct....where do I stand on the actual GMAT scale?

Also, is there someplace where I can discuss on individual questions?

Check this for correlation between the two tests: result-correlation-between-gmat-and-gmat-club-s-tests-30989.html

Diagnostic Test's questions are discussed here: gmat-diagnostic-test-quest-for-best-gmat-diagnostic-test-79502-160.html

Hope it helps.

In Question no. 11 of Diagnostic test, Statement 2 is " @ is divisible by 9" since statement 1 says " @! is not divisible by 5" which means @<5. The two statements are contradicting each other when we consider @= 0 or 9. Actually it should be only @=0. Since in GMAT, the two options cannot contradict each other. Hence the answer B. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Welcome to GMAT Club. The question you are talking about is discussed here: gmat-diagnostic-test-question-79339.html and there is no contraction between the statements. From (1) possible values of @ are as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and from (2) possible values of @ are 0 and 9 (here, saying that 9 is not a possible value because first statement doesn't allow this would be wrong, since you cannot use info from one statement when considering another).

Complete solution:
1233@ to be divisible by 5 symbol @ should represent either 0 or 5. So the question asks whether @ equals to 0 or 5.

(1) @! is not divisible by 5 --> @ can be 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 (note that 0!=1). Not sufficient.
(2) @ is divisible by 9 --> @ can be 0 or 9 (note that zero is divisible by every integer except zero itself). Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) Intersection of the values for @ from (1) and (2) is @=0. Sufficient.

Answer: C.

Hope it helps.

Thanks a lot for the questions. If I am not wrong, I think this test would be more helpful once you are done with practicing the Quant section. The test would help you identify your current level and what kind of questions you must practice to achieve your desired level.

Desperately waiting for the Verbal diagnostic test. Also, it would be great if you could tell me the best source for 750-level questions. I have only come across 650-700 level questions till now.

Hey...this is an excellent site for those who are new to GMAT preparation. This is helping me a lot.

Does anyone know why the online diagnostic link is not working?

My question is probably really dumb, but has a verbal version of the diagnostic test been made here on the club? because I can't seem to find it. Thanks in advance to whoever might aswer.

It's very useful. Thanks a lot for these resources.
