GMAT Official Practice Exam n.4 - Is it realistic or too easy? [#permalink] New post   02 Feb 2020, 15:20

Hi Guys,
and thanks for everything you do for this forum.

I really need an expert opinion about the GMAT Official Practice Exam n.4: is it realistic or too easy?

I am asking because in my last simulations (Manhattan Prep and Veritas), two weeks ago I was between 610 and 640, with Q42 and V34.

Today, I tried the Official Practice Exam n.4 and scored 720 (Q49 and V40).
I think it was too easy, in particular math. Have you already experienced with this issue? Why is that?

Thank you very much for any help you can give me to understand my situation!
All the Best,

Manu03

I wont say that it is easy. I would say they are most closest to actual exam.
but i think from your score it looks your verbal score improved a lot more than Quant.
All the best for exam

Hi Manu03,

I have not heard of GMAT Prep Exam 4 being too easy. How have you been scoring on the other GMAT Official Prep practice exams?

The size of the question bank for test one and two is significantly greater than for test three and four as well as five and six. You’ll get a much greater variety of questions in those first two tests.

However the scoring algorithm is adjusted to match and compensate for the lack of variety in the question bank so while you may not hit as many harder questions, the scoring should be still accurate. So if you feel it was too easy, that’s good! At the same time it may have been not the most realistic experience.

While I cannot speak for the third party tests, I did see a drop in quant difficulty for tests 3,4,5,6. Maybe this is because, as bb had stated earlier, the question banks are smaller, however, from my experience, the scores in the paid tests have been pretty accurate.
Both my attempts were within ten points of my last gmatpreps (tests 4 and 5).

Hey guys,

I have a similar feeling - I first took the official mocks 1,2,3 where I scored 680 680 660. I shifted to manhattan mocks to practice so I don't waste any more official mocks and when I attempted the 4th one I got a 770 which well felt rather easy.. I will take another one to check if the score is consistent but how can we check as to which score is the best indicator of our ability?
