Hi All,

I invite you to practice with *TWO Full-Length _Adaptive_ GMAT Focus Tests* for *FREE*

URL: https://gmatinsight.com/

My team and I have developed ADAPTIVE full-length tests that resemble the GMAT test (almost) exactly in terms of
1) Interface
2) Adaptiveness
3) Quality of questions
4) Scoring and
5) Test Analysis

I would like to invite you to try those full-length tests and perfect your prep.

For any doubts and queries, I am reachable on +91-9999687183

I tried both tests .. quant was good.. slightly on the easier side. Verbal RC was not representative of GMAT in terms of question quality. For verbal boldface questions the boldface sections were missing ( but this could be my browser issue .. I am not sure). And for DI there were a lot of flawed questions and some questions with straight out wrong answers. Thanks

Hi all,
I wanted to hear from people who have recently taken the GMAT and have also used the official practice exams 1–6.

How did the actual exam compare with the official mocks? Was the overall difficulty broadly similar, or did any particular section deviate significantly? In your experience, how much variation in score (+/−) can one realistically expect on the actual test compared with the official mocks, assuming we set aside test anxiety as a factor?

I’d also love to hear specifically about DI. Were the DI questions on the actual exam broadly similar in difficulty and style to what we see in the official practice exams, or did the TPA/MSR sets tend to be significantly harder? I struggle with these types of sets fairly often, so this is something I’m particularly concerned about.

Would really appreciate any insights from recent test-takers or anyone who has taken the exam recently. I’m planning to take my exam quite soon, so firsthand experiences would be extremely helpful.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Thank you for the feedback.

I will look into each answer myself and ensure that there are no mistakes. Could you tell me the wrong answer that you are quoting are which ones??? DS non math, DS math, TPA, Graphs or tables???

I will start fixing those issues first .

any feedback is a appreciated as I intend to make them perfect.

P.S. all questions in test are GMAT focus inspired and difficulty level is adaptive. It’s possible that other practice tests that you have practiced, have instilled a habit to practice more hard questions which is unlike how GMAT does. Actual GMAT doesn’t offer 15 hard among 21 even if you mark every question correct. In my test adaptiveness is designed to offer a limited threshold of hard ones (eg. Max 8 in Quant section) and test the candidates on all types of questions.

Any insights from the experts?
I took the exam in Aprol and used all six official practice exams, so I'll answer from my own experience. Everything below is subjective, YOU DO YOU.

> How did the actual exam compare with the official mocks?

Pretty close. The official mocks are built from retired real exam questions, so the calibration is about as honest as you'll get from any prep material.

> Was the overall difficulty broadly similar, or did any particular section deviate significantly?

Broadly similar, no section stood out as harder than what the mocks prepared me for. What does change is the pressure, and that shows up in your pacing rather than in the questions themselves.

> How much variation in score (+/-) can one realistically expect?

You've asked to set anxiety aside, so I'll set aside the other big variable too, which is how honestly you take your mocks. If you're sitting them at home, taking a 15 minute break instead of 10, pausing for a phone call, then your mock average isn't a real baseline and no variation number will mean anything. Take them the way I did (go somewhere that isn't home, one 10 minute break, nothing else) and your mock average becomes usable. On that basis I'd say plus or minus 20 points from your average on a good day.

> Were the DI questions similar in difficulty and style, or were TPA/MSR significantly harder?

Similar in style and difficulty, but you won't see a single repeat from the OG or the mocks, every question is new to you. That newness is what makes DI feel harder than it is. The other thing is that DI draws from a wide pool, so whether it feels brutal depends heavily on which of your weak areas it happens to hit. In my case the reading-heavy MSR sets were my weak spot, not the calculation, and that's exactly where I dropped marks. If TPA and MSR are already the sets you struggle with, that's worth drilling now, not because the exam version is harder, but because you have no margin on your weak topic when every question is unfamiliar.

Good luck with the exam.

Also not an expert, just a fellow aspirant happens to be a mod now 🙂

Thanks for Detailed explanation Bhanu. I am a fellow aspirant who would like to be on the other Side like you. Would certainly require further assistance from you.. Can you DM me?
Thanks in advance.
