Hey guys, after a couple months of studying I decided to see where I am at so I wrote the 2015 Official Guide's diagnostic test.
Here is my timing and results:
Problem Solving:
45 minutes
18/24 correct
Data Sufficiency:
35 minutes
23/24 correct
Reading Comprehension:
25 minutes
16/18 correct
Critical Reasoning:
38 minutes
11/17 correct
Sentence Correction:
24 minutes
15/18 correct
How are my results and timing? I am pretty bummed out about my PS score, I screwed up several easy ones and there were one or two that I had no way of answering. Pretty happy about my DS + RC scores/timing. I was a little disappointed that I missed 3 on SC, but thats still something I'm working on. I havent dived into CR yet, so I'm not too concerned.
Any thoughts/feedback?

Dear ggurface,
I'm happy to respond.
Just FYI, the Diagnostic Test in the GMAT OG has remained identical through several editions, at least as far back as OG11. The problems in the Diagnostic Test definitely lean toward the hard side: some of them are among the most challenging questions in the entire OG. Given that, I would say that you are in pretty good shape. If you have any questions on any of those PS, chances are excellent that they are already posted in the math section here on GC.

Hi ggurface,
Taking a pencil-and-paper Test isn't really the same as taking a complete, fully-adaptive CAT, so it's difficult to analyze a score or performance. While the OG books are arguably among the best sources for Official practice questions, taking the Diagnostic Test isn't really a comparable experience to taking the Official GMAT.
1) How long have you been studying?
2) Have you taken any FULL-LENGTH CATs yet (including the Essay and IR sections)? How have you scored?
Beyond the practice that you've done so far:
1) What is your score goal?
2) When are you planning to take the Official GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
