GMAT Prep Analysis Tool

I have come across this recent post by one of our club members. Below are his question numbers he got wrong. Even though he got more number of wrong in GMATPrep1 than in GMATPrep2 ( Quants ). He got more score in Prep 1. It seems that
if you get first question wrong and any consequtive questions wrong you are getting killed in Quants. So we need to be very careful specially solving first question and make sure we get it correct.

Here are my errors:

GMATPrep1: 5, 9, 12, 16, 20, 22, 29, 31, 36
GMATPrep2: 1, 5, 7, 11, 14, 17, 21, 28, 29


My bad I only had 9 mistakes in GMATPrep1.

I think what killed my score in GMATPrep2 is that I failed the first problem, and got two consecutive problems wrong (28 and 29). My perfect from 30 to 41 didn't help an ounce. I guess that the GMAT has some dumb algorithm, and that once it has made its opinion from the early answers, it won't change its mind afterwards.

Thank you and BTW the excel analysis is really good.

I think there is no issue in posting the resulting graphs of the analysis tool. Infact the visual results will be great to view!!

If anyone has recently taken the gmat prep, it would be good to have the graphical results here.

Here are my GMAT prep -1 Results I got Dismisal 550. With these result I totally baffled whether or not I will be get my target score of 700
Some of the key points

1. I got 5 wrong in first 11 question of Quant section. These mistakes in the begining are very costly. That to I got first two questions wrong.
2. I got last 2 questions wrong consequtive mistakes.
3. In total 11 mistakes. I have seen hussain posting Q47 with 15 mistakes or so. I am not sure still how got a low Q44 probably becoz of 5 mistakes in first 11
4. Lot of focus in quant goes to number properties.

Regarding verbal section this is alarm for me need to work hard on CR and SC.

Well, I think the the Q score of 44 with 11 mistakes in total is a bit harsh. But reason is pretty simple. You got 5 wrong is first 11 questions. Try to develop a time strategy using your results.

Any how, best of luck & keep us posted.

Is there any way How much time we spent on each question on GMAT prep?

Nopes!! Different test prep companies like MGMAT, Veritas, Knewton has such option but not gmat prep!!

Great analysis, although I know I'm late on the band wagon!

Thanks!!

Let me just say that in all my CATs I always get between 40 and 45 in Quant. This time I was about to quit the CAT when I was around question 27. For two reason: 1) I terribly managed my time and gave much more importance to the 13 first questions and 2) I thought some questions were vey tough!!!

I believe that even though I got 5 wrong answers in the first ten questions I must have answered correctly a couple of hard questions! By the end of the cat I was totally surprised! In verbal I got the first 4 questions wrong! that probably damaged my score a lot!

PD: I also change the color of the charts..

Excellent post.....thanks a lot for sharing the info

Kudos! Nice tool, thanks for sharing and definitely gonna use it

Hi
why does the verbal have an option of 41 questions? and quant 37? shouldn't it be 36 and 31? Should I just delete the extra rows?

Because this is old thread and old GMAT pattern
