How good is 90% accuracy rate achieved while solving official question

Hello, jharashmikant. Your OG results are encouraging for SC thus far. The more questions you solve at each level, the greater will be the degree of reliability in your statistics. If you can hit 95 percent or greater for Easy questions, 90 percent or greater for Medium questions, and 80 percent or greater for Hard questions, not just for SC, but for RC and CR as well, then yes, you will stand to walk away with a high sub-score in the Verbal section. As for the discrepancy between your OG results and your e-GMAT results, that could simply come down to your learning process with e-GMAT. Perhaps you were missing easier questions in the beginning than you are now, and that apparent plateau might not represent your current abilities. Perhaps the questions are harder. I would advise you to focus on the OG questions anyway. Third-party material is fine for building conceptual knowledge, but nothing beats official questions for being able to predict eventual performance on the GMAT™. Keep practicing. If you keep hitting your marks, then you are clearly doing something right. You can fine-tune as you go.

Good luck.

90% accuracy is very good! That said, I agree that you should take an official MBA.com practice exam to see how you score. If you end up doing so, feel free to report back with your score breakdown, and I can provide some further advice.

Hi jharashmikant,

The OG books are great sources for practice questions, but they're not designed to teach you Tactics, patterns or the little 'secrets' behind the GMAT. From your performances on these sets of questions, your 'knowledge' of GMAT content is likely strong, but unfortunately, there is no practical way to translate these types of practice set results into an equivalent GMAT Score. The only way to properly assess your current 'ability level' at any particular time is to take a FULL-LENGTH CAT/mock under realistic conditions that match what you will face when you take the Official GMAT.

Since it sounds like you're early-on in studies, it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can take 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can discuss the results and how you might best proceed with your studies.

1) Are you planning to take the At-home GMAT or are you planning to take your GMAT at a Test Facility?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
