Need urgent help.

IMO gmatclub tests are way tougher tham actaul OG questions and hence the gmat exam .

I would say you can hit Q50 or more in actual exam

So you are fine

Hi dilip_dx,

Having the ability to Score Q50 - and actually performing at that level on Test Day - are not the same thing. Taking an individual section of the GMAT - outside of the context of taking the FULL Exam under realistic, test-like conditions - is not a valid way to measure your skills. Thus, instead of asking how a result from a ClubTest might 'translate' to a Score on the Official GMAT, you would be better served by taking a FULL-LENGTH CAT in a realistic fashion (re: take the FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, take it away from your home, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, etc.).

1) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs/mocks so far (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
2) What is your overall goal score?
3) When are you planning to take the GMAT?

1) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs/mocks so far (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
- I have taken a lot of practice test simulating real GMAT like experience - Full test for 3.5 hours (Dint want to take official prep but took the test with Veritas, Kaplan, and MGMAT). I get Q49-51, V30-36. I have a varied score from 640-680. I have a month time to take my main GMAT exam. I want to seal quants (Q50, Q51 - I will be practicing on a daily basis though) so that I can put my efforts on verbal.

2) What is your overall goal score?
I am looking at 700-730, anywhere between that. I have a strong profile and I am aiming for the IV league.

3) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
July 3rd 2019.

Hi dilip_dx,

The scoring algorithm on the Official GMAT is far more complicated than most people realize. Since that algorithm is proprietary, no GMAT company has an exact match for it, thus CAT scores can vary a bit based on the 'biases' involved in their respective designs. The most realistic CATs available are the 6 from GMAC (the 2 free CATs, and each of the 2 that come with Exam Pack 1 and Exam Pack 2), but since you have not taken any of those CATs yet, we do not have a definitive sense of your current 'ability level' yet. There's a significant difference between raising a 640 to a 700+ and raising a 680 to a 700+. As such, I suggest that you take one of those Official CATs sometime soon (perhaps this weekend) - and do so in a realistic fashion (re: take the FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, take it away from your home, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, etc.). Once you have that Score, you should post back and here and we can discuss the results.

Assuming that your current Quant skills would place you around a Q50, then most of the missing points that you are after are going to be found in the Verbal section - and thus, you should be spending more of your time honing your Verbal skills than honing your Quant skills.

1) What study materials have you used so far?
2) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?

Gmatclub scores are a good indicator when it comes to quant.
