Hello everyone,
Recently I appeared for 2 Veritas Prep CATs and as I was analyzing my scores I noticed something strange
CAT1 - Quant score 50 (Correct/Incorrect = 17/14)
Difficulty - Correct - Incorrect - Total
(500-550) - 1 - 0 - 1
(600-650) - 6 - 3 - 9
(650-700) - 8 - 6 - 14
(700-750) - 2 - 5 - 7
CAT2 - Quant score 49 (Correct/Incorrect = 22/9)
Difficulty - Correct - Incorrect - Total
(500-550) - 5 - 0 - 5
(600-650) - 13 - 7 - 20
(650-700) - 4 - 2 - 6
(700-750) - 0 - 0 - 0
Now you see, my overall accuracy was better in CAT2 but I didnt get even one (700-750) level question
So, as per this,
I think an aspirant should always aim to reach the hardest questions and try to attempt as many hard questions as possible.
Accuracy matters for easy and medium questions because if you get these questions incorrect you will never be provided medium hard and hard level questions. Thus your score wont improve because you have not attempted the hard questions
bb Kindly provide your inputs about this.
VeritasKarishma I wanted to know how similar is Veritas scoring to actual GMAT scoring

We have handled this query in our FAQs on our practice test:
Veritas Prep designed its practice tests to simulate the official GMAT as closely as possible, both in terms of question quality and how the computer-adaptive algorithm determines your ability level and chooses which questions you see. Our GMAT practice tests draw from a pool of more than 1,400 realistic GMAT questions, each of which is measured on multiple attributes that go far deeper than simply “easy / medium / hard.” Given the adaptive nature of our practice tests, no two test instances will be exactly the same.
Check out the other FAQs here: https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/veritas-prep-resource-links-no-longer-available-399979.html#/free-g ... tice-test/
Our follow up with our students after their actual GMAT shows that our practice tests do a great job of assessing ability. The algorithm gives very realistic scores (within a range of +- 30 points).
