Hello all - I'm new here and looking for a little input on how to interpret the
OG diagnostic test. I searched previous posts and didn't find anything that answered my question (or really attempted to, for that matter).
I took the test and scored the following (number of correct followed by rating):
- PS: 20 (Excellent)
- DS: 19 (Excellent)
- RC: 16 (Excellent)
- CR: 13 (Above Average)
- SC: 14 (Above Average)
Now I don't expect this to be translated into a score but I am curious as to how this stacks up. My "Excellents" were on the low end of that spectrum and my "Above Averages" were on the higher end so overall I would say I between Excellent and Above Average (using the
OG table). Are these scores about on par with most people who are just starting out or am I behind the pack? I will be doing an actual diagnostic test in the next week or so.
Thanks!
Hi GordonFreeman,
I just took the
OG Diagnostic cold and got the same excellent/above average breakdown. In fact, our DS, RC, and CR are identical in terms of questions missed.
Anyway, I was wondering how your prep is going and what you find effective/not effective (especially with SC). I'm aware of the issues with assuming that because our
OG Diag scores are similar that we learn similarly, but it seems like we have a bit in common. Ex: I work in finance and I'm getting an MS in stats currently and you're an actuary.
I've also heard that we should save the GMAT CATs for last and I have the
MGMAT prep books + exams. Did you end up taking the GMAT CAT at the beginning of your studies like this post suggests? Do you think it's made a difference?
Thanks!
