GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

I was just wondering whether people using the ETS paper tests used the grading method described on the back to tabulate their scores. I don't skip any questions or go back to any old questions because I want to make the test as real as possible but then I can get a total of 6 wrong and end up with a **** math score and my verbal score sucks too because again I do not skip any questions. I know these are practice tests abut so many post talk about how indicative they are of your final score, but all the scores I get are below 700 (660-680 range) 
...just curious to know when people list out their scores like that how they do the tests. I also took the PP1 as well and scored a 680 I'm losing faith in my ability to get a 700.

It is important to do those PT under timed conditions. However, what you can do is find the sections where you take less than the alloted time. Use those extra minutes and allot them to another section where you know you are weaker. For instance, PS usually takes less time than DS so you can allocate the time as I said. Otherwise, PT, I would say, is fairly representative of your potential score if not even a bit higher due to repeated OG questions contamination. In any case, the most important is that you use those as practice and do not get too deterred by your score because even though you get 750+ in those tests, you could still end up with only 650+ on the actual test. Same thing is true for getting higher actual GMAT scores than paper test scores.

Thanks for the reply Paul. Yeah I missed a lot on reading comp (which is my strongest section) because of the lack of time. But I finished Sentence Correction and CR pretty quickly (often times with 2-5 minutes left). So I'll do that this time. I'll allot the time I didn't use for CR and SC to RC or whatever section of the same kind (i.e. extra time for verbal only for verbal q's). Thanks for the advice. The curve for Math is extremely high though! All those smart non-Americans just rubbing it in that us Americans suck at Math!
