This is not a question of what my GMAT score should be, instead it is a question as to how I should be scoring in my practice questions. For example, I am early in my study, so out of a possible 15 questions in a particular subject (lets say mixed Critical Reasoning questions ranging from the early to late numbered questions in the
OG 12) what percentage should I be looking for in terms of correct answers.
I understand 100% would be ideal, but what is a realistic goal for someone who plans to study over a good period of time? I understand at this point I am not getting enough questions right, but I want to know if I am on a good track.
Sorry if I did not explain my post properly.
Everyone seems to ask this question when they first start out (don't worry, I did the exact same thing!)
Honestly there's just no good answer. Use the practice questions (like in OG12) for practice, not for scoring. Focus on the concepts rather than your percentages.
With that being said, I do have a spreadsheet where I've tracked the accuracy of every question I've ever done. I don't use this to gauge myself against a possible score -- I use it to see where I need to improve.
