Kaplan CAT Scoring Accuracy? 24 Aug 2014, 09:41

Hello all,

I was wondering whether anyone has come across a similar circumstance with Kaplan CATs through Kaptest.com. On my final two CATs I scored the following scores, but my total score on Kaplan seems lower than it should be (I googled the same Q and V breakdowns to see what they attributed to on actual GMATs):

Q47 V38 - 660
Q46 V39 - 650

Shouldn't these scores be closer to the 680-700 range?

Maybe someone from Kaplan can help me address this?

Thanks!

Hey!

I've read a lot of similar issues about the scoring problems in Kaplan mocks. You can't trust the scores you get on those mocks. The only good mocks out in the market, in my opinion, are:

1) GMAT Prep (for obvious reasons, they're the best)

2) Veritas Prep (they follow the same scoring algorithm as the real GMAT)

I have frequently heard that Kaplan scores are not a very good estimate and will give a lower score.
