I guess I will be the only one that needs money back then. Congrats to all those who got great score.
I got 650 Q49 V30 which is about 10 points lower than my diagnostic score.
I had a little bit drama before the test. My test was scheduled at 12 noon. I went to the testing center. Since its after normal business hour, I need to punch in some code to call the center so that they can open the door and let me in the building. But I kept dialing and dialing, it is always busy. I almost got paniced. Then someone probably finished their test and came out the door so I got in. By the time I got in it's 12:15. I am not sure if this contributed a little bit to my score.
I messed up in math part. I have scored 51 in Q twice in the real exam before. I am not sure what happened yesterday. But even if I got 51 in Q, I think with 51Q and 30 V, I still can not get 700+ score.
Even though within knewton CATs, all others who got great scores were consistent in all their CAT scores. My scores fluctuated a lot.
I know my user name is nevergiveup. But I really don't know if I still want to keep trying. I lost my motivation. But look on the bright side, I might be the first one to provide information about how the money back process goes.
I am so sorry to hear about what happened with your test. In fact, I had the same issue at my test center but fortunately the line was not engaged. I got a 720 on my Knewton CAT and I scored a 730. I would not have filed a request for money back but when I asked certain questions, for example, why is the CAT assigning 50 points even though there is no single error, I was not given straight forward answers. My exam date was nearing and the Quant on Knewton pales in comparison to GMATPrep and I wanted to talk with some one as I got really nervous and was wondering whether I am working on any thing useful. Nope! No calls were answered and then I get an email saying that We get 100's of emails. In one word, I was being a pest for them when I was explicit in my email that I would like to improve my self and possibly provide feedback to them as well so that they can listen to me and make up for any thing if they find my thoughts useful. The worst part is I did get all Q questions correct on 3rd CAT and got a 50. I was told that they corrected the issue and the same thing happens on CAT 5. That was it.
Now the good part. Dave Ingber, Brad, Cole Entress are pretty good. Especially Dave Ingber, He pretty much rocks! Now that you know that verbal is your problem work on it. If I were you, I would ask my verbal pretest/retest and the questions to be reset so that I can work on the concepts. Knewton's RC is pretty good and close to the actual GMAT, The actual GMAT RC was a little bit stressful to me because, I got all my RC between 8 and 31. It was like I was doing a RC exam.
MGMAT RC's are way off! The concepts on SC and CR are the key. Their CR and SC questions are pretty much the same
OG questions with words replaced. My answer to this question is they want to stick to the patterns GMAT uses. It is probably ok with CR but they have to get a little bit adventurous with SC as many questions will not be exactly the as the questions in
OG.
MGMAT does a good job at SC. Read the book 4th edition twice or thrice, if possible do SC Question bank and
MGMAT CAT's to improve your concepts. How were you doing with the concepts pretest and retest? I think the concept pretest and retest is the greatest asset of knewton.
You are only 4 or 5 questions away from getting past 35-36 and if you get 50/51 in Quant you will get past 700.
