Re: QUANT 50 with 13 mistakes? [#permalink]
[quote="Basim2016"]Hi,
Any idea, how many mistakes possible with Q 47?

Regards.

You'll need to narrow it down to 9 or 7. Depending on topic.

I can speak for 49-51, I cannot speak for 48-

Hey Guys,
I took a Veritas Prep Mock test. I got a 690 but I am having difficulty understanding my score.
I got Q-50 with 13 wrong. Is that possible???


Hi. That’s a good score. Ultimately the score depends on how many hard questions you answer correctly. There is no correlation between the number of wrong questions and the final score however since the CAT is adaptive and since there are experimental questions that do not count towards the score.

Each prep company has their own algorithm and if you answered enough hard questions it is quite possible to get a high score while if you were taking gmat prep tests 3,4,5, or 6 you would need to get quite a few more. Funny enough someone complained they only got V44 with 2 wrong. Seems there is no way to please everyone :-)

We have run tests and we’re able to achieve Q50 with 10 wrong on GMAT Prep’s tests 1 & 2. So while 13 seems high, it is possible if the question bank is mostly harder questions. In general I have not heard of people complaining of their Veritas CAT scores being off.

PS. You can of course check with gmat prep if you wish. But congrats meanwhile.

Congrats on your scores. From other replies, I think you were getting all difficult questions and hence high score but I wonder how do you still get 650-750 level questions even after 13 mistakes? I think your mistakes are spaced out and they are not continuous right?

Hey, so I was consistently getting harder questions and my mistakes were very spaced out. Could that be the reason?

That might be a reason, yes. Let's wait for the experts to analyze...

I always had the feeling that the Veritas scoring compensates for hard questions by being a little more lenient with the errors.

However, what the test certainly shows is that you scored very well compared to your peers, which is certainly a valuable takeaway.

Hi Nikita1997,

First off, nice job with the 690. Regarding the number of questions wrong, as BB mentioned, your score depends on not only the quantity of incorrect questions but also the difficulty of those questions. Have you taken any official MBA.com practice exams?
