Hello All!
As a new member to the forums, I'd like a little advice on how my practice Manhattan Prep GMAT score stacks up versus maybe the real thing.
IR - 3.8
Quant - 44
Verbal - 38
Total Score - 680
I found a lot of the math problems extremely hard. Reading through the forums, this seems to be a very typical experience. The problems that were like, If you multiply 28 * 46, which of these is not a factor of the square root, blah blah blah... These were the ones I struggled most with. But somehow I managed to get a 44 on the quant section.
I am really disappointed with my verbal score of 38 tho. Based on my verbal score, I feel like I got a lot of questions wrong. While answering the verbal questions, there were not many questions that were foreign to me, or that I totally guessed on. I did feel however that a few questions were really satisfied by 2 'best answers' and I struggled to decide between the two. The sentence correction and paragraph topics were both something I found really easy. To be honest, verbal is where I expected to 'show up', yet the score is not there....
The error log is something I plan to start with this exam. After the exam, I haven't reviewed the questions/answers yet, but plan to do so today. Being a native English speaker, and having great communication skills, I expected a better score. Looks like I need to hit the books on the verbal section.
Edit**
I knew it! I just realized that Manhattan provides % on the GMAT Scores. So I was totally right~! I sucked on the Math and did great on the verbal.
Here are my scores with percentages:
IR - 3.8
Quant - 44 54%
Verbal - 38 85%
Total Score - 680 84%
Also as someone mentioned below the Quant section was incredibly hard, but I went through my answers and here are the correct versus incorrect ones by category:
CONTENT AREA Total Right Wrong
Algebra 9 5 4
Geometry 6 4 2
Word Problems 11 7 3
Number Properties 7 1 6
Fractions, Decimals, & %'s 4 3 1
It seems Number Properties were the hardest type of questions for me. There were many on what types of numbers are divisible by what, taking numbers to exponents and asking you to factor them etc...

Manhattan CATs are really tough on quant side. You will never encounter such hard questions on real GMAT. Whenever you get an incorrect answer for a question in MGMAT CAT just learn the concept behind it. Unless and until the quant score is way too low (20's or 30's) Dont really bother about it.
Verbal score of 38 is really good to start with. Filtering the options to two best answers and struggling there is most famous and favorite problem encountered by most of us(aspirants).
Reviewing the CAT will enhance your performance in best way possible.

Thanks for the response, I am planning on reviewing the CAT to see what exactly tripped me up. Will post on the type of questions that I struggled with the most.
