Gmat prep practice exam [#permalink] New post   26 Sep 2021, 10:37
Hi i took gmatprep practice exam 1 today. I have following 2 queries
1. When i was answering every question, test platform asked me to confirm every answer with yes. I had to click yes after marking answer choice to every question. Does real gmat platform also asks the test taker to do that.
2. After confirming answer with yes, platform was taking time to move to next question. Time lag to move to next question was so that i could read the whole question again without answer choices. Is it same with every one or i have experienced something u usual.
Need help from experienced people

Hi RebelWanderer,

1. Yes.

2. You shouldn't face such issues if you're taking the GMAT at a test center. Unfortunately, it is possible that you'll see similar lag during the online GMAT.

Hi RebelWanderer,

To answer your immediate question: YES - the "click YES to confirm your answer" functionality is something that you will see when you take the Official GMAT (it's essentially there as a stop-gap against someone claiming that they accidentally chose an answer when they intended to choose a different answer). As AjiteshArun pointed out, if you take the GMAT at a Test Center, then the next question in each section should appear immediately after you finish answering the question that you're on. A number of GMATers who've taken the At-home version of the Exam have reported that they experienced a significant 'lag' between questions though.

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How did you score on this first CAT/mock (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
2) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
3) What study materials have you used so far?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi RebelWanderer,

One of the keys to scoring at a high level on the GMAT is to take FULL-LENGTH CATs/mocks in a realistic fashion and at regular intervals (since there are Test-taking skills that take time to develop, but that can really only be learned by taking CATs over time). A 580 is a solid initial CAT score (the average score on the Official GMAT hovers around 550 most years), but you'll have to make some big improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections if your Score Goal is a lot higher. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.

Many GMATers face pacing issues in the Quant section, the Verbal section or both – so you are not alone. However, it's important to remember that pacing problems do NOT exist on their own - they're the results of OTHER problems. From what you've described, your studies so far have been "book heavy"; unfortunately, many GMATers who study in that way end up getting 'stuck' at a particular score level. Even the best books are limited in what they can teach you; they also can't force you to approach questions in a certain way and their explanations are often one-sided. As such, you would likely find it beneficial to invest in some new, non-book study materials for this next phase of your studies.

The information that you provided in that other post didn't include answers to all of the questions that I asked, so I've reposted those questions below:

1) How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What is your overall goal score?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
