Hi All,

Just now I took a Princeton Review free GMAT mock. Is there any flaw with their algorithm.

I got 30 out of 37 correct in quant section. Found entire quant section to be very easy. But still then got a score of just 41 in quant.
Has someone experienced something similar?


I am preparing for my 2nd attempt, such score is really disheartening.

Hi kulkarnios,

I have heard similar things about Princeton eariler. I have myself given various tests ( princeton,GMATPrerp, PowerPrep, Kaplan,Economist,Mnahattan)
From allof these, GMATPrep is the best and most accurate.

Then comes manhattan , which has a fairly good accuracy of gmat score and then Kaplan( though its on the tougher side).

Good luck..

I wouldn't worry too much about the actual algorithm. Every test prep provider tries to mimick the real thing as best they can, but nobody actually knows the exact formula - though we can get quite close.
