Hi there,

I just wanted to know if anyone knew the "predictabiliy" of the challenges. I make 5 or 6 mistakes on average on a challenge of 37 questions, how would that translate into a Q score?

Also, my verbal is significantly lower on Gmat software tests (42). Should I forget practicing quant questions and fully focus on verbal? (exam is in less than a weelk).

Thanks for the link, very useful.

Concerning my second point, should I stop practicing quant and focuse solely on verbal?

Hey, do you consider a 42 on verbal lower ? I don't think so, its pretty good score... Many people don't cross 40 even after trying very hard.. so dont worry much ..

I'll be a very happy man with V 42 Q49. But ig I want to improve my GMAT score, I was wondering what would be more efficient: work on the verbal or the quant? Considering the fact that my exam is on Friday, I should be working on the verbal, since I can only marginally improve my quant score. But I wanted to have confrmation from the GMAT gurus on this forum :)

I think focus on the basics of both math and verbal. Go throught the fundamentals again. Thats a better idea.
