You can't. Once the score disappears, you only have the question breakdown (# wrong/#correct). Its a stupid system but hey its from the makers of GMAT. What can you expect from an organization that perversely profits from the sweat and tears of its customers. Btw, how'd you do and have you taken any other CATs for comparison purposes?

Hey thanks for your response.

Well...i scored very high but its not reflective of my skill. I saw 6 (quant) questions from the forums here on gmat club and about 5-6 from verbal...so its not accurate. I got a 760 (dOnt have the distribution bc i just glanced in disbelief). I vaguely remember q49 and dont know about verbal. For verbal i felt really comfortable got 3 wrong.

I have been scoring high 600's low 700's for the past 2 weeks On mgmat and kaplan cats so this was an anamoloy. An anamoloy that feels good lol.

Any suggestions?

Yeah, that's why I stayed away from looking at any questions with source from gmatprep or kaplan on the quant section of this forum since I was using their CATs to gauge my performance.

Being familiar with so many qtns will definitely inflate your score, given that the ones that pop up here are usually the tougher ones that people have problems with.

Only if we knew how does their system functions, things would have been easier right? Don't worry on it. Work on your mistakes.

Btw, I see that you have the test on the same date as I do, so I guess I am not alone trying to destroy the GMAT on that date!! :-D :-D

It's in the company's best interest that you do not score to your target. Every incremental test taker is pure profit once overhead has been deducted. The monster who sits at the head of the company probably lets out a fiendish cackle every time an ill-prepared candidate crosses the threshold of a test center.

They are the enemy. Expect nothing less than cold-hearted calculation and malicious intent.

Yes, unfortunately the system is quite limited - if anything it should keep track of detailed statistics and show the applicant where and what they have missed (to level the playfield with test prep companies for those applicants who use only the official materials). I guess the assumption is that you will be using the test prep resources...

Let me write to the GMAC I guess (since I really don't have anything else to do. HA!)

Haha it seems you seriously have hatred for the GMAT inside you.

But I have to agree with one thing that GMAT's official material does raise some questions. I mean, why does OG 11 and OG 12 have such a significant overlap, when the GMAT does change questions every 30 days or so ?

More importantly, why do the Paper tests have the same questions as OG 11 and 12 ? The first set of 3 Paper tests has almost no new questions that differ from OG 10, 11 and 12.

But believe me the GMAT is much, much better than some of the other competitive exams. If I were to compare it with CAT (Common Admission Test), which is known as one of the most difficult competitive exam, I would say that the GMAT is better anyday. It is more sorted and atleast you have a say if something goes wrong.
