Kaplan GMAT CAT practice tests

Hi there,

Can someone please let me know if the Kaplan free GMAT practice exam comes with question by question answer explanation as to why a certain answer is correct whereas the rest of the answer choices are incorrect?

I understand that it gives a detailed scored analysis. and I am assuming that just mean a breakdown of the areas/categories/sub-categories of the material tested. Am I correct?

Also, do the GMATPrep provides question by question answer explanation? as well as a detailed analysis by tested topics?

Thanks so much.

hello sir.i have appeared the KAPLAN free mock.does the score test reflect the actual GMAT score, not in exact way ,but a score closer to the real GMAT score?

Hi JAIN09,

The other posts in this thread are about 6 years old (or older), so I don't think that you'll receive a response from any of those posters. In answer to your question though, the scoring algorithm on the Official GMAT is far more complicated than most people realize. Since that algorithm is proprietary, no GMAT company has an exact match for it, thus CAT scores can vary a bit based on the 'biases' involved in their respective designs. The most realistic CATs available are the 6 from GMAC, but the CATs from Kaplan, MGMAT and Veritas are all 'close enough' to the real thing that they will provide you with a relatively realistic score assessment (assuming that you use the CAT correctly).

Before I can offer you any additional advice on how to improve, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
