GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

I just finished the third Knewton CAT. My score was down from the previous two CATs mainly because I missed a lot of verbal questions.
But one thing I notice is very strange. I got 48 in Q, but when I go to the review page, I got all 37 quantitative question right. How can I get everything right and still get 48? That is something to think about.
I did very bad in verbal this time. I only got 26 in V. I missed a total of 13 questions, which consist of 1SC, 3CR, and 9RC.
So my total score was down to 620.
But I think I definitely have an idea of what kind of passages are giving me the most trouble.

I'm happy to hear that you've proved their CATs are flawed. I had a suspicion that this might happen. You should call in and ask them to examine your test results. If 37/37 correct yields anything less than a Q51, then their tests are BS.
This is disappointing.
How are you doing on GMATPrep tests?

I have contacted knewton support. They said that they are going to have the tech people take look at the test score.
As for GMATPrep test, I still try not to touch it. I have taken it too much in the past that I have already memorized most of the questions and answers. Now that I haven't touched it for about 3 month. I try to give it one more month so I can forget at least some of the questions and start a little fresh.
I can’t decide which schedule to take, the 2 times a week classes or the once a week classes. I’m also thinking of just creating my own schedule and watch the archived classes. IIRC, the 2 times a week session is about 1 ½ months long, while the once a week session is about 3 ½ months long. 
) I’m worried about regressing if I go with the once a week classes. I’ve read so much about the “law of diminishing returns” if I take my review beyond 3-4 months (something like that) or worse suffer burn out. On the other hand I might get information overload if I go with the 2 times a week classes. Has anyone tried either of the schedules I mentioned? How did you find them? Was it too hectic, too long or what have you? How about creating your own schedule and watching the archived classes? Has anyone tried this? Sorry for being too anal about it. 
I just can’t believe that I got a very low score in my Knewton diagnostic exam, since almost everybody here seems to find the questions easy or at least not particularly difficult. Well, I did find the question not particularly difficult also. In fact I finished about 25 minutes early in the verbal section and 5 minutes early in the quant section. I’m just surprised with my very low score. I tried to justify it by finding some excuses such as my lack of sleep (5 hrs.) and my carelessness. But excuses are just that, the real gmat won’t care.
