GMAT Club score calculator only goes so high and is not accurate/does not work for low scores like that.
MGMAT is pretty accurate, or within 50 or so points.... i am not sure why you got a lot of questions right and then got only 220. Did you get at least half of them right? It may be worth posting a screenshot in case you did.... This could of course be because you ran out of time at the end and did not answer the last 10 questions?

Hi abdullah359,

There are many factors that go into your GMAT score, not just the number of correct answers. The scoring algorithm on the Official GMAT is far more complicated than most people realize. It takes into account a number of different factors, including the relative difficulty of the question, whether you were expected to get it correct or not, the placement of the question, what's going on "around it", the "strings" of correct and incorrect answers, whether the question even counts or not (some questions are "experimental" and are worth 0), if you leave questions unanswered and incur a penalty, etc. As such, you shouldn't be spending time trying to figure it all out. You'd be better served working on building up your skills.

How long have you been studying?
What resources have you been using?
When are you planning to take the GMAT?

Hi abdullah359,

From what you've described, it sounds like you've used a "book heavy" study approach. 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.

Since your practice scores so far have been low, to make a big improvement you'll have to change your tactics. This will likely mean investing in some new Computer-based resources and learning (and practicing) new tactics.

When are you planning to apply to Business School?
