Hey everybody,
After some 2 weeks of preperation I did a Kaplan Online Practice Test (only Quantitative part), which resulted in the following:
62% of the answers correct, which is the equivalent to the 70th percentile. When I looked up the Kaplan book it told me that my Scaled Quantitavive Score at that percentile is Q44.
Is my interpretation correct? And can I also conclude that my real GMAT score might be a bit better, due to the fact that the Kaplan tests are a good notch higher? What score or percentile would you recommend to have, if I strive for the 700?? I refer to bb`s study plan where he mentiones that at least Q44 is necessary before starting with the Verbal part.
I would be thankful for your replies!

P.S. After going through the mistakes, I realized that I was able to easily solve the problems in the second attempt. Thus most of my mistakes were REALLY careless errors.

Ok, when you take paper tests or general diagnostic tests - this is not reflective of the GMAT scoring algorithm. Although the algorithm is quite an unknown procedure, its adaptive in nature (apparently! No one's fan of the algo I would guess). So, these 60% correct answers are basically just a raw representation -- you really do not know the difficulty level of a question and the test obviously did not switch between tough-easy questions etc. So, this test you just took is NOT a perfectly reflective of a potential score in your GMAT.
62% of 38 questions is like 24 questions right and 14 wrong. I would strive to atleast get 80% of 38 question right in the Math section. And again, when you are taking these tests when you come across a hard question, its imperative that you crack that -- to see if your score improves (More harder questions you answer right, you reach a higher level of scoring -- its like playing a video game).
Hope this helps and Hope I haven't filibustered too much :D
