Hi all,
I have been preparing for months now. Struggling with verbal as a non native speaker and really not used to read complicated stuff in english.
I recently took the gmatprep official mock 3 and scored a Q49 V31. I then adapted my strategy in verbal and i have stopped trying to answer every question and miss all the questions at the end (guessing at the end)
I took the official gmatprep 4 and scored the same Q49 with 5 mistakes and a V36. total 700.
1) Can someone please explain why the official practice gave me a 700 when i find gmat tables in the internet with same scores totalling 690 instead, Even worse, i have also found people with those same two components (Q49 and V36) with a total of 710 ?!!
2) my verbal score depends A LOT on my ability to concentrate . how can I ensure a similar performance even with a lower concentration + more mental fatigue ?
3) What can I do in a few days to move from Q49 to Q50?
Thanks again

Hi prepgmat95,
Here's why we see sometimes see different total scores with the same Q/V splits:
1. The GMAT generates a score at the end of both the quantitative and verbal sections. These scores are on a continuous scale.
2. These scores are mapped onto an internal scale. Let's call these scores "internal scores".
3. These internal scores are combined to arrive at a total (internal) score.
4. All these scores are then converted to the scaled scores that are exposed to the test taker (6 to 51 for quant and verbal, and 200-800 for the total).
The internal scales are slightly more accurate than the ones exposed to test takers, and that's why we see different total scores for the same score combinations.

Yep, working on solving approach can be really helpful in regards to mental energy/fatigue. A lot of the verbal tutoring I do, for example, doesn't necessarily focus on teaching fundamentals per se.
