Official Practice Test scoring [#permalink] New post   05 Oct 2022, 02:23
Hi!

I have been studying on and off and most of my mock scores have been between 650-690 on Expert Global, V37/38(9-12 mistakes) Q44/45(12-15 mistakes)
I have reset my official mocks twice and noticed my scores have dropped drastically on my latest mocks-
I got V33 with made 11 mistakes and Q42 with 12 mistakes. Does scoring get affected when you reset mocks and take them? How do I improve my score to 680 in 3 weeks? Please help :cry:

Hi,

Scoring does not get affected when we reset mocks and take them. In general, if we do not properly analyse the previous mocks, we tend to repeat the mistakes and do not improve on our score even after retaking the same mock. This may be a possible reason for low score in retake official mock in your case too.

To improve the score to 680 in 3 weeks, I would strongly advise you to analyze the previously taken mocks by giving more time for analysis. As for me, I give more than double the time to analyze my mistakes than the time spent on taking official practice test.

Hi MDGMAT315,

The GMAT is an adaptive exam, and so are the official practice tests. The number of incorrect responses is usually not a very accurate indicator of score.

Also, we should try not to compare scores across providers. The non-official tests you've taken in the past have their own scoring method (non-adaptive, if I remember correctly), and it is most likely not similar to the GMAT's (adaptive).

Do you have any strategies on how I should improve my score? I've been focusing on number of mistakes till now. Also tried to analyse my maths sections- I mostly got mid and low level questions on the exam and out of 12 only 2 were low level that I did incorrectly which was from a chapter I have skipped. Any suggestions on how to improve this score to 46/47 in 2-3 weeks @Ascore Prep

What mocks can I write which are adaptive apart from the 6 official mocks?

Hi MDGMAT315.

Your can increase your quant score significantly just by not missing any easy questions. In fact, had you not missed those two easy questions you may have scored 45 in quant rather than 42. So, be sure to go through that chapter you skipped so that you don't miss any easy questions on that topic.

Meanwhile, the following post discusses in detail how to increase your GMAT quant score.

Hi MDGMAT315,

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) When is your exact Test Date for the GMAT? Are you going to take the At-home GMAT or are you going to take your GMAT at a Test Facility?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Manhattan Mocks aren't bad. In case it's been a while, consider retaking some of the Official Mocks you did in the past.
