One week from the exam, I just finished my 4th MGMAT CAT. Heres a breakdown of my scores.
MGMAT 1: 640 (42Q 36V)
MGMAT 2: 580 (37Q 32V)
MGMAT 3: 630 (42Q 34V)
MGMAT 4: 580 (37Q 33V)
Im super nervous since these CATs were all about 1-2 weeks apart from each other and I studied for 5-6 hours per day. On the last CAT (MGMAT 4), I am reviewing my mistakes and I find on the quant I was doing great until about question 14-15. I managed to be in the 98%tile then I messed up and got a bunch of 700-800 questions wrong and dropped all the way to 44%ile.
Any tips? I dont understand why my scores are not going up as I have been working on my mistakes and keeping an error log. On the verbal part, I got almost a whole RC passage wrong and thats why my score was bad on that. Im worried because I dont want to get the same score as last time on the real GMAT (630)

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE SCORES on MGMAT.
Instead focus on the number of questions your got wrong and why you got them wrong. Their algorithm is not representative of GMAC's. Moreover, MGMAT's quant questions are tougher than what you'd find on GMAT.
If I were you I would stop worrying about their algorithm and falling from 98% after 14 questions to 44% in the end. That wouldn't happen in the original test.

Hey,
How did the GMAT go?
I was giving one of MGMAT's CAT and was highly surprised to see that that even after getting 25 qns in the range of 700-800 & 11 qns in the range of 600-700 in verbal, I finally ended up with a meagre score of 29.
What I'm trying to get at is that if a test taker is not performing well in a section and assuming that the test is adaptive then the way the difficulty of questions are selected in MGMAT's CAT is faulty. I felt that the test wasn't even adaptive to begin with and the pool of questions was selected as soon as I started the test (hope I'm wrong here).
While I was giving the test and by judging from the difficulty level of the questions I felt that I had performed pretty well in the verbal section, but it just turned out to be a fool's paradise.
All in all I'm a bit disappointed with the MGMAT CATs and looking forward to explore other opportunities that can somehow mimic the real GMAT more closely.
Feedbacks are welcome.
Cheers!
