Hi,

I am new to the club. Found some very interesting posts. I gave GMAT prep one to see where I stand. I got a 610 on it with 45 in quant (33 attempts) and 29 in verbal (31 attempts). I would like to some insights into how to go about it. I want a score of 750+ in the real GMAT and need to know what are the best books to learn and practice to improve my accuracy and my speed.

Best Regards
Pri

Great diagnostic, really helped me assess some weaknesses in inequalities & overall calculation speed. Didn't know it existed till I saw the free July 3/4th tests.
Just a suggestion, you should have this more upfront to highlight to new joinees. Thanks bb!

I just worked on the 1st 30 questions of this test and was surprised to see the following results:

score on the 10 (600) range questions = 9/10
Score on the 10 (700) range questions = 3/10
score on the 10 (750) range questions = 7/10

Maybe my mind is processing the 700 questions incorrectly, just not realising how tough they are and so they require more thinking before solving.

I have recently finished gmat club diagnostic test.....

And have few questions regarding my current position.....Here is my score break up...

4/15 == 650 Level difficulty

7/15 == 700 level

9/15 == 750 level ( And 3 incorrect due to calculation error...Almost i had 12/15 correct)

However i find this accuracy little weird because how can a person get the average/basic questions incorrect and getting 700 - 750 level correct mostly.....

Also after 2 months i am testing myself in any test..during this period i read MGMAT guide 1 and 4.....

Mostly i made errors in rate, geometry and algebra......

But again comming back to my question how is this possible?

Well,

I should say this i thought i was good at mixtures .was so confident and i simple question shakes my foundation.Phewww

My advice to all the test takers is the diagnostic tests/ gmat club test is akin to practicing a race with no competitor.

Do not waste your time comparing percentiles in diagnostic tests/ Gmat Club tests .they are not anywhere close to the real gmat percentile scores.

But yeah they are wonderful at breaking your foundations and telling you " you should go back to the drawing board"

so use them to only learn your mistakes,i think even pacing is okay as if we figure out the approach i reckon we can increase the speed.

Thanks so much to the GMAT Club community for coming up with these questions. I am currently starting to review the final quant book for Manhattan, and these problems definitely re-enforced my problem areas (combinatorics, I'm looking at you). I plan on skimming each of these books a second time through, concentrating on my problem areas in particular.

I am currently working on trying to be at a 47 or higher for the quant. For anyone who has taken the actual exam already, are these questions on the diagnostic test comparable to the harder questions on the actual exam? I know that's what the intent of these questions is, I'm just curious as to what other people feel.

I scored a very humbling 23/45 on these questions, taking an average of 1 minute per question. How many of these questions should I be able to get right comfortably to feel confident of scoring around the 700 level on the actual exam (I know this is a subjective question, I'm just looking for a ball park figure/hearing other people's thoughts about the diagnostic test).

Thanks in advance!

Please suggest how to improve

c) Probability

Thanks

great questions,
percentiles won't give you an idea how you will do on an actual test - some of the questions are too lengthy in calculation but don't have an easier (more intelligent) way to be solved, plus I dont think that you can get this many questions on combinatorics. But great practice still!

Hey Thanks for this test....I took it and 25/45 were correct....where do I stand on the actual GMAT scale?

Also, is there someplace where I can discuss on individual questions?
