Like you, I feel times have come to show the gmat who is really the master.´Probably in two weeks. Good luck with your paper test. Surprisingly, I scored less on the paper tests that on cats. It is not that they are more difficult, but time is really short...


Haaaa... Very good as well ! I'm glad to hear this news from u :)

U will do it ! :D :)

Yes i feel that it is equally important not to rush things as at is not to dealy the test for an indefinite time.... Have to catch the right moment.

Will paste how i did on Paper test.

Did the paper test. Received another boost of confidence from it.

V47 Q43 Total: 720

The best part is that there were no questions that i have seen before... My goal for Gmat is: everything above 650 is good for me. I think i am scheduling the test for next monday...

You should not use Kaplan as a reference... Kaplan is not good for that. It is good for practice, thats it....

I agree. Do not use a Kaplan result as any type of guide or reference for your actual scoring range.

Also just took a Kaplan CAT and scored a miserable 550. But my powerprep was 720 and MGMAT 720 as well. In any case, I still feel I should be able to score higher for Kaplan.

I was saving the GMAT prep exam for right before the actual test but I think I should take it so I can study the questons. I wanted to save it cause there might be a limited question bin and i want to make sure I get "new" questions so I can properly gage my performace. What do you guys think?

Good luck Simaq! Good luck tennis ball! You guys are spot on for almost all the questions. I'm sure you'll do stellar.

My exam is in 1 and 1/2 weeks. I'm freaking out myself...

My Kap CATS are 590, 660, 600, 610. Well, I did all of them. It is a good test of mental toughness when you see difficult questions. However, don't do it within 2 weeks of G Day. There is an online CAT on the Kaplan website if you register your Premier book. I didn't do it, and so am not sure about its quality.

I did GMATPrep 1 on the weekend, and scored 770(51, 42). :shock: A bit too inflated, I think. There are some questions I did before.

Then on Sunday, I did the PR CAT 4 with less repeated questions, and scored 710( 45, 43). If not for my unclear mind, I would have scored higher than 45 in the Math. This is the first time I got below 50 for my quant.
I really saw some tough questions in the math. PR is a very good indicator without many repeated questions.
Also on the weekend is the first time i broke through 40 in my verbal. :-D So, well on the way to G Day.

Going to do GPrep 2 at mid-week and a re-install this weekend, and progress through my plan with OG until the last day, and I think I am settled for it. 8-)

BTW, your 4 C's really work.

and it is good to have a short memory, so forget whatever your score is last time. just do the best whenever u do a CAT.
But I do admit that a low score in a weekend CAT spoils the mood. :)

Yes i know... Paper tests are actually a bit harder for me. The timing is very tight and there are more questions.
