Free Platinum GMAT Test - Where do I stand? 25 Jun 2017, 17:49

Hello all - first time poster.

I just started studying a few weeks ago and thought I'd take a practice test to see where I currently stand. I took the free Platinum GMAT CAT yesterday and my scores were as follows:

Quantitative
Raw Score: 44 - 46; Percentile: 70% - 77%
Verbal
Raw Score: 33 - 34; Percentile: 67% - 71%
Total
Raw Score: 630 - 640; Percentile: 75% - 77%

The results were a bit surprising considering that I typically find myself doing a little better on the verbal sections when doing practice questions. I'd love to hear anyone else's assessment of the Platinum exam/their results.

Most importantly though, I'm wondering how this practice test compares to the actual test in terms of scoring. Has anyone else taken this test relatively close to the actual GMAT (or any other practice tests)? If so, how did your score on the Platinum test compare to the other tests?

Thanks!

It would be better to take a mock from a gmat prep software as they are the closest to the actual gmat test. If you do not intend to waste your gmat prep test early in your gmat preparation than I would suggest you to take a manhattan test, but add 2 to 3 points to your quant results.

Thanks for the advice. I do plan on taking the gmat prep software mock along with all of the Manhattan practice tests that came along with the study package I purchased. I'm in the process of working through the official GMAT guide, and will start the Manhattan materials soon. As you put it, I am a little concerned about "wasting" these other prep tests - for this reason I took the Platinum version just to get some sort of a rough idea of where I stood. Problem is - I have little context for the score I received!

Hi mcdo,

Just like You care for wasting the GMATPrep CATs, Try to plan on better using the Official guides as well.

Here is the sequence you can have:

#1. Learn a concept (Do a chapter from course/MGMAT book/watch videos)
#2. Practice Questions (from the very sources used to learn concepts)
#3. Do Questions from Official Guides
#3a. First do these questions in timed manner (do not see the answers yet)
#3b. Then do them without time
#3c. Now check the answers
#3d. It does not matter if you got a question right or wrong, Review ALL the questions/answer choices thoroughly. To better use the energy start with those that you got wrong and then check those that took you more than allowed time and then the ones left.
#4. Practice all concepts/chapters in this manner
#5. Then do CATs (first few CATs - MGMAT/others and the GMATPrep)

As you know, Consider GMATPrep scores as the right way to evaluate your prep. To support quant like nothing else just use gmatclub tests (they're the best) :)

WHY official questions are very important? and needs to be taken seriously??
because they test the same concepts that are taught to you by MGMAT or any other course BUT with tricks/traps/twits/tough words and with many different level of complexity.

PLANNING is really important than just studying HARD to get a better score in GMAT in the right timeframe.

Hope it helps :)
