Re: GMAT Diagnostic Test - Quest for Best GMAT Diagnostic Test [#permalink] New post   16 Dec 2009, 17:11
I've never taken the GMAT and I was looking for a diagnostic test. I found this one, but, as you know, it doesn't have the verbal portion of it. Also, I read on this thread that it is not recommended for first-timers, like me. I was considering taking the GMAT simply to assess where I was. However, at around $200 a pop, it made me reconsider. I remember that some of the books to study for the GMAT have tests, but I would like to take a computer-based test, as this is how the GMAT is actually administered. Can someone recommend one, if such a test is available? Free, of course, is always better, but, if I have to pay, I would do it--as long as it's not $200!! Thank you all.

By the way, bb, this is a great resource you've provided. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to GMAT Club!

Here's a thread with reviews of different computer-based adaptive and non-adaptive Tests that you might want to use:

all-gmat-cat-practice-tests-links-prices-reviews-77460.html

If you decide to use GMAT Prep, be sure to use it carefully and save one test for later as GMAT Prep is the best predictor of GMAT score. You'll be able to read more about it in the thread above.

Have a good prep time!

Thanks, dzyubam. Now, I'm planning on taking the GMAT/applying for an MBA next year, for the Fall of 2011. Do you think it's a good idea to use one of those tests right now? I just want to know where I am, how well (or bad) I fare, etc. Thanks.

I did so bad at the diagnostic test that it's not funny.
I got a 20 on the 45...can you beat that!!!! I always thought Quant was my (relative) strength.
With less than a month to go for my test..I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!!

Don't take it too hard. Identify your weak areas and improve them. Sorry if it sounds boring :). Don't give up!

I got 21 (61%) on my my diagnostic test. Then I got 26 (70%) on m25 and 30 (81%) on m01. So, I think you can improve fast too. Don't worry.

Hi,
I took the GMAT recently and received a score of 730. Your math test was very helpful in preparing me for the real thing. Kudos to all of you for putting together such a (dare I say it) beautiful array of math questions that was key to helping me perform so well.

Unfortunately, I am not that good at writing math questions! But I will submit at least a few verbal questions you guys can use later on. This is my own small way of giving back;

Re: GMAT Diagnostic Test - Quest for Best GMAT Diagnostic Test [#permalink] New post   23 Jan 2010, 23:04
I am about 2 months preparing into GMAT and took this test today. Surprisngly I find my errors are mostly on questions at 600-650 level and most of the 700/750 ones are correct. Is there anything to interpret, like taking easy questions too lightly and missing some details?

I think you should give the questions you got wrong a closer inspection. If it was a careless mistake, you might be taking easy questions too lightly. If an error had to do with a concept tested in the question, you'll have to review that specific concept. It's also a good idea to use an Error log (if you are not using one yet).

Thank you for the diagnostic, it allowed me to evaluate where I stand in the 600-700 level questions.

What would you suggest if I get only about 1/4 of these questions correctly?

The level ranges from ~600 to ~750. You can see these approximate level figures in discussions dedicated to each of the questions. See the links in the top post (each question has its own discussion).

I hope this test helps you identify your weak areas and work on improving them :).
