GMAT Diagnostic Test - Quest for Best GMAT Diagnostic Test

Hey guys...thanks for the good work.. I have to admit this set helped me gain a new perspective on my quant preparation...
I have always had a good math aptitude...scored a perfect 800 in GRE quant...so i was being over confident and not paying much attention to the GMAT math...
Your test brought me back down to earth...i could only get 35/45...was frustrated by the end...and did take some 15 more minutes than allocated....phew...
But thanks again ... great job...

We're glad it helped you.
Good luck with your further GMAT prep!

i was able to get 32 right out of 45.
Not sure if that would ring any bells of my ability in quant.
On top of that, i did not follow the timer on most of the occasions.
Way to go

But it was a great great test of quant skills

Hi

Thanks for posting the test. I am about to start with my GMAT prep. I took the test and got 35/45. How good/bad is it for starters?

Also, should I start with the OG first or Manhattan GMAT ( I dont have one yet!)??

Apologies if this isnt the right forum to ask such questions...

Welcome to GMAT Club!

You must be good at math to score 35 out of 45 right away. Here's a thread to help you build your study plan:

Hi BB,

Thanks for the post. I'm new to this forum. Do you also have similar diagnostic test for verbal? I had taken gmat 4 years back. 680 (less than 2 months prep. only OG, kaplan800, and gmatprep cat). I didn't apply to many schools as I was disappointed. Now I'm decided to give it another shot. Here's my study plan. Please advice.

1) OG12
2) Kaplan premier 2011 + adaptive tests
3) MGMAT online tests & Q bank (shall buy online)
4) MGMAT SC,CR,RC guide (I've some old copies)
5) PowerScore CR as reference
5) GMAT prep cat
6) GmatPill online

Can I forgo few of the books if I take GmatPill? I've a demanding job.
I'm weak in verbal and AWA.

Engg. graduate. 9+ years exp.
Intend to take the exam in May end.
target score: 750

Please advise.

Regards,
Avi

thank you so much for this, I can't wait to get the real ones

This is wonderful and really helpful! Thanks a lot!!!

I just took the diagnostic test....some of the questions I did are different that those listed here in the "Index of Diagnostic Test Questions, Explanations, and Discussion" and the thread containing all of the answers and their ratings.

examples are 40,43, 45(wording), 24 (wording in statement 1)

explanation?

I took the diagnostic test today, timed myself and solved first 15 questions, only 5 came out correct.
Can any1 suggest how to practice maths section to score

Hi,

I am new to the club. Found some very interesting posts. I gave GMAT prep one to see where I stand. I got a 610 on it with 45 in quant (33 attempts) and 29 in verbal (31 attempts). I would like to some insights into how to go about it. I want a score of 750+ in the real GMAT and need to know what are the best books to learn and practice to improve my accuracy and my speed.

Best Regards
Pri

Great diagnostic, really helped me assess some weaknesses in inequalities & overall calculation speed. Didn't know it existed till I saw the free July 3/4th tests.
Just a suggestion, you should have this more upfront to highlight to new joinees. Thanks bb!

I just worked on the 1st 30 questions of this test and was surprised to see the following results:

score on the 10 (600) range questions = 9/10
Score on the 10 (700) range questions = 3/10
score on the 10 (750) range questions = 7/10

Maybe my mind is processing the 700 questions incorrectly, just not realising how tough they are and so they require more thinking before solving.

Thank you very much for the diag test .. gmatclub rocks

great tools, thanks a lot!

i was a little disappointed in my score tho -
took GMATPrep without any studying just to see where I was starting, got 46Q.

but on the diagnostic... (I didnt do the 750+ questions)
Easy: 11/15, Med: 4/15

shucks

also, what do the gold stripes on the Details page mean?
