IMO offical & MGMAT tests are the best & reliable CAT one should do before actual exam..
Check on your weakness and questions where you went wrong..
Algorithm wise if you want gauge your score buy official exam..

Hi,

IMO, only the GMAT official tests can give a correct picture of the adaptive test strategies. Other tests are either too easy or too tough, way beyond the actual GMAT exam & hence, they don't provide a clear picture.

Practice, Strategize, Excel...
Hope it helps!

I took Pearson test and scored 45 in quant. The number of questions incorrect were 6 out of which 1 was an experimental question.
Hi vivprakash,

By definition, experimental questions are not (and cannot be) used by the algorithm.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "Pearson test". If this was an actual GMAT exam taken at a Pearson centre, you would have no way of knowing whether a question is experimental or not. If this was an official GMAT practice test, you can be sure that you did not see any experimental questions, as the those tests don't have any experimental questions.

Might be good to take 3rd party mocks with a grain of salt. Had a student, for example, who I helped go from an Official V31 to a V40. Before I taught them their mocks were ranging on the verbal from 27 to 38. Could be a number of reasons for this but just something to consider when you see a score pop up on an external mock.

Hi vivprakash,
Official CATs are the best sources and represent one's current performance. It is not possible to know whether some questions are experimental from a CAT or a real test.
Good Luck!

Hi vivprakash,

When you say "Pearson" test, do you mean an official test?
