PR tests put a couple of 47- 51 level questions in the quant section in the first 15 questions and if you get them wrong will never be able to get past 45 in quant.
Verbal is same as the other preps

I know this is a very old thread, but I would like to add my experience from the Princeton Review Free GMAT Test.
I scored the same as I normally do on any practice (680), but then looking at my quant and verbal score, I noticed that I only missed 4 quant questions (still only placed me at a 43) and missed 7 verbal questions (placing me at 41). I normally miss significantly more in quant, but get the same general score.

Hi, My mock scores have been :

GMAT Prep - 710
Experts global - 740
GMAT Prep - 760

All the above 3 were taken with a gap of 2 weeks b/w each.

Today I took a PR test, and I scored 690. I was shocked, though quant was relatively simple... I had a real doubt on the quality of verbal qus.

I got 28/31 correct on the quant but the score turns out to be 43. Could someone please help me understand if this is a possibility in the actual GMAT?

I have attached the score screenshot below.

Thanks in advance

This looks odd. Did you get the first three questions wrong?

Here is another test where I got 24/31 correct but ended up with a score of 48!! (Questions that I got incorrect - 7,10,18,23,27,30,31)

I am sure it has to do with the algorithm of assigning you a lower score if you get the initial questions wrong. But hopefully, this is not the case in the actual GMAT exam.

VerbalKnight that has to be wrong--I would contact the company. On my best practice test ever, I got a 50 in quant (my only ever), and I had actually gotten Q1 wrong.

There is something wrong with Princeton. I just did their free practice test. They have a difficulty rating for each question from 0-12.

I got extremely extremely easy questions on Quant. My score was 49 and these questions had very high difficulty ratings on average. With questions with difficulty 11 and 12 which felt like 7 or 8 compared to OGs or other practice tests.

Then I did the Verbal. The questions really were not that easy compared to other difficult question I've seen in OGs or other tests for example, but the difficulty rating displayed showed that none of the questions were above a 6.5 difficulty. Like I had a streak of 7 correct in a row for questions of 5.5 difficulty on average, however the difficulty of the question after was 0.5. Which is ridiculous because it is definitely not that easy. The difficulty never once went above a 6.5 and it never felt like medium difficulty questions throughout,

There was one reading comprehension with 3 questions. Other forums claimed the difficulty of the questions given was 600-700, 600-700 and 700-800. The difficulty Princeton gave? 1, 2 and 2.5. OUT OF 12. Like this question was harder than most of the last 10 in the OG and this was supposed to be a 1/12 in difficulty.

I never even got a singular attempt at a difficult question which just seems so flawed when I get 7 in a row right at a difficulty of 5-6.5 and I'm still stuck at that same difficulty. And since I was getting only low difficulty questions, my verbal score was 24. This is the worst verbal score I've gotten ever, even worse than my very first practice test where I had no preparation. My verbal on average is 40 and I studied verbal even more since then.

That's why I think the difficulty rating given to the questions is wrong. So to test this theory I did a Kaplan test the day after and got Q49 V31. Still a really disappointing verbal score and furthermore, I even got more wrong this time than before. In the Kaplan test I got 18 correct compared to 22 of Princeton, with still some early questions wrong, but the questions being rated properly in terms of difficulty and actually being allowed to attempt difficult questions meant my score was higher. And not to mention the quantitative section was much harder and much more representative of the real test.

I was going to buy more tests from Princeton but definitely not a good site. Best to skip it. From my experience and from what I can see from other people on this site is, if you get the 1st question wrong on Princeton, your entire test is screwed. You will not get difficult questions, or the algorithm severely underestimates the difficulty of the question, and your score will be low even if you make few mistakes.

Hai, Today morning I took reset version of GMAC mock 2, which I have taken some 4 months back and got below scores.

Total 540
Q43 (20 C/ 8 IC / 3 left)
V21 (19 C/ 16 IC / 1left)

However, I felt I was not really focus while taking and then taken princeton reviews mock test in the evening (after good sleep)

Total 600
Q39 (25C / 6 IC)
V34 ( 19C / 15 IC / 1 left)

My usual quant scores are around 43-46 and verbal scores are around 28.

I have been focusing on verbal from past two weeks and improving both accuracy and speed.

Can someone honestly say that V34 is accurate?

Consider taking a fresh Official Mock. If you receive another Verbal score in the V20-25 range that may provide insight. If you are repeating an Official Mock, the score may be a bit inflated in case you see some repeat questions.

I think your verbal score from your official mock is likely the most accurate. That said, when do you plan to take your next official practice exam?
