Hi,
This is really fishy and weird. I do not understand how is the test scored. After a whole lot re-studying everything and trying to fare well in a practice exam that I bought from GMAC - the first of the two exam pack tests I have scored 680 and I am definitely not satisfied with how have I fared, in comparison to other 670 I scored in the last one.
Please refer to the following test statistics to understand the two exams I gave.. I really need your inputs to understand where there is no improvement in my verbal score at all???
Test 1 (670, Q49, V32, IR 4) (below as total questions, correctly answered, wrongly answered)
QUANT 37 29 8
PS 19 16 3
DS 18 13 5
VERBAL 41 23 18
RC 13 7 6
CR 11 7 4
SC 17 9 8
Test 2 (680, Q49, V34, IR8) (below as total questions, correctly answered, wrongly answered)
QUANT 37 27 10
PS 20 15 5
DS 17 12 5
VERBAL 41 30 11
RC 13 10 3
CR 11 7 4
SC 17 13 4
Are the two tests in line with the right scoring.... I actually expected the verbal raw score to go up to atleast 38 39 with 11 wrong questions assuming atleast some of them would have been experimental too.
I have also noticed the placement of the right and wrong answers which seems to have improved in test 2 consierably from Test 1.
Test 1:Quant: 1,2,14,16,24,32,34,37
wrong (1, 2 being wrong is definitely a problem)
Verbal: 3,7,10,11,19,22,25,26,
29,30,32,33,34,35,37,38,39,41 wrong (i know my verbal sequence looks terrible here!)
Test 2:Quant: 3,9,15,16,19,25,26,27,31,33
wrongVerbal: 3,
9,10,11,13,14,19,21,22,24,31
wrong (this sequence is still much better, however I realize 9,10,11 shouldn't have been wrong in a series)
Nevertheless, Not really sure if this is fine.... what are your comments???
I have my exam in 8 days and i am really worried as otherwise my application looks very strong with all the credentials and everything but I don't want to get bogged down only because of GMAT as I am targetting some very high schools.... Looking at this, can you guys please help suggest things... Manhattan SC seems to have helped me somewhat, I am thinking of reading powerscore bible for CR one more time as I think CR is still a weaker section... and need to be more careful on Quant because as mnay as 4 5 questions when I saw again after exam, even before checking the right answer I could spot the right answer and then hit my head in the wall for a wrong option marked... and my careless mistakes... but please help out with the verbal section as I have limited time
