GMAT prep test 6

Question

I took prep test 6 today and got disappointed with the 650 score (Q48 V31)
However when i reviewed my responses I saw that i have made 8 wrong responses whose sequence is as below (first column)
1 40
2 25
10 40
17 25
20 45
27 35
30 5
32 45

The difficulty levels (taken from GMATClub) of the wrong responses are in the second column above

I strongly believe that the score is not a true reflection of my preformance in light of the following,
1. GMAC prep test 5 (10/feb/21) score 710 (Q48 V39)
2. Have attached screen shot of response review screen which is  not  showing the exact questions I got wrong
3. mba.com displays a notice (NOTICE: We are currently experiencing technical issues with the GMAT Official Practice Platform.
 We apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate your patience while we work to resolve the problem.)
Experts & Mentors kindly help me to make sense out of this situation as I dont want my confidence to go down having my exam next week!

Just to point out that your screenshot and your list of mistakes do not match

... It actually does not match at all... You got the score you got. There is no way to know if it is right/wrong. Hopefully, your final score will be closer to test 5 but we can't tell.... Tests 5 and 6 tend to have few hard questions and thus are more punitive for making mistakes on any question. Did you feel test 5 was inflated for any reason? Did you see any questions you have attempted previously? I would trust your instincts and try not to make any changes and definitely no changes on the last 2 days. Don't try new strategies or anything like that, just continue to work hard to protect your score (that 710) and work on polishing your SC/CR and RC approaches, your SC checklists, and CR traps/errror log. Good Luck.

Thanks for the prompt response bb
I meant the wrong questions in the attachment and the exact wrong questions, which i found after reviewing each questions, did not match at all
 
After completing the last section the site was unresponsive and i had to refresh it after several minutes.

Test 5 does not contain any repeat questions, actuallu i was running out of time and did not mark an answer for the last questions. M
More on test 5 - got 8 questions wrong which are well distributed

However as you said I would just stop investigating test 6 and will forget it. Will resume from test 5 second review and refinement on competencies.

As you are kind enough to help me to get over the test 6 stigma, can you help me with last week strategy to improve from 710 (Q48 V39) to 740 (Q50 V40)
My plan was to review Verbal review, advanced GMAT 300 questions and GMATCLUB Q CAT.

Oh.... that’s insane. I’m sorry. I totally missed that. That is pretty messed up. I don’t think I know any prep company that does that kind of level of a mess. I think you can throw it out and not worry about it. Sorry about the waste of time a d a waste of a test 😬😢

Hi  BaskaranK25 ,

Go ahead with the material you mentioned. Try not to make any big changes at this stage.

All the best!

At this stage with the time you have left, you don’t want to introduce any new materials. Focus on chasing some of your air log mistakes and especially focus on the time and strategies.

Hi BaskaranK25,

On GMAT, it's not about how many questions you got correct or incorrect. A lot depends on the difficulty level and your performance in individual quarters. I have made a detailed webinar on the same. You can go through it to understand how the GMAT algorithm works.

As you have just a week to go, do not try anything different. Stick to your usual routine of studies. If possible, analyze the solutions of the questions in the mocks and identify what mistakes you have made. This will help you understand the right approach.

Hope it helped. All the best for your test.
