I just finished giving my PowerPrep 1 and I got a real bad score . 530.
Q 34 V 24
I think Quant I could finish only 34 in the given time. Verbal I answered all 41 questions. I am disappointed and disheartened that I did not do well. I have been studying for 2 months now. Obviously I'm doing something wrong.
PLease suggest any strategies or ideas on how I can improve my scores.
I finished OG 11 and Kaplan guides...Should I review questions I got wrong in OG ???

Thanks

Absolutely... you should always review your mistakes, no matter if it is OG or anything else... you learn from them... I typically don't move on to another set of questions until I understand what mistakes I made in the previous set. And if I don't get it, still I try to memorize the solution if given or at least know the lead way to solve the problem.

In addition, I spend a good hour or more in reviewing my mistakes on the simulated CATs even though sometimes there are no explanations...

Also, you must of heard it on this forum that you should keep an error log and categorize your mistakes to see which subjects you are weak at and therefore press those... The timing is also hard... I also get 30-35 in my CATs and don't finish all the questions, but usually at least first 15 are correct and then from 30 on I feel pressed by time! So pacing is the key I guess, and takes practice!

Good luck

POWERPREP is used to be a software on mba.com before the ETS changed the vendors to Pearson Vue. I don't think it is available to download now... all the people who have it probably did so prior to 2006. So PR (which is Princeton Review) is not a POWERPrep... You can now rather download GMATPrep which is similar to PowerPrep.

ETS Paper tests can also be purchased at mba.com and these are the "old" paper tests that are not used any more, but they are good for practice. However, there is some overlap b/w OG and these tests, so beware. Here is the link to the tests:

Hi,

I got 450 in the GMAT Powerprep exam1 which is discouraging. Iam going for a Kaplan class room coaching and I got 580,590 and 580 scores respectively.

From the GMATClub postings I come to know that the actual score reflects Powerprep scores.I started going through the OG also ..

The fact that I missed 3 questions on Quant, could have also caused a drop in my score.. I read somewhere if u missed more than 3/5 questions u can come down from a 91% to a 77 %... I mean regardless I need to study and look at why I made those mistakes , but I think missing questions could hurt me the most...

Any thoughts anyone ?
