Jumsumtak is completely correct, as usual.
The GMATPrep runs exactly the same algorithm as the actual GMAT, so it's generally a much better indicator of your progress than anything produced by test-prep companies.
Just a hunch: did you have far worse timing problems on your
MGMAT tests? Are there a bunch of quant questions that took you 3 minutes or more? If so, that's pretty normal--you're probably getting stubborn on the toughest
MGMAT questions, and that goofs up your timing on the entire section.
Anyway, 87% on the GMATPrep Question Pack sounds great, and the GMATPrep scores sound great, too. Keep working with official questions if you're doing any more studying before your exam, and you'll be fine. Good luck on Thursday!
Thanks for the response, hopefully i will reach my target tomorrow morning. But yes I had timing problems in the
MGMAT quant section. I found their problems to be very long and needed far more computing of all kind of factors. The complete opposite on the GMAT prep software, if I knew the concept I would be able to solve the problem in 90 seconds but on
MGMAT even if I completely knew the concept I was around 2-3 minutes solving it, and even more of course on the problems I found very difficult.
Also one thing! I found the critical reasoning part in the
MGMAT test very frustrating, since I was very often left with two very similar answer choices, I had around 65-70% accuracy on the
MGMAT but 85-90% on the GMAT prep! Anyone else who feels this way about the CR part in
MGMAT?
Cheers guys!
