Hi
nehad1992,
Thanks for signing up for
Magoosh! In the future, if you have questions about
Magoosh questions, you can post them at the
Magoosh subforum, or reach out to us directly with the "Help" tab on the
Magoosh Dashboard.
We work hard to make our content as similar to the actual test as possible. The more that students use
Magoosh and take the test, the more information we receive on how accurate our material is. Many students who took the test told us that our questions and their difficulty level matched what they saw on the real test. So, you can expect
Magoosh easy questions to be like easy questions on the actual exam, and
Magoosh very difficult questions to be like very difficult questions on the actual exam.
Now, your score on a
Magoosh practice test is predicted by getting feedback from previous users (i.e. their score on the actual GMAT), comparing that to their performance on
Magoosh practice problems (the number and difficulty of questions answered), and formulating a predicted score based on the correlation between these two things. It is the same process we use for predicting students' GRE score, which we wrote about
here. We are always tweaking and improving the score predictor, so it is not entirely accurate.
While we do our best to provide the most accurate score possible, ultimately the closest you'll get to the actual exam is the GMAT Prep Mock Test. This is a free test created by the same company that makes the GMAT, so the questions are similar to the test, the adaptive nature of the test is similar, and the scoring algorithm matches that of the actual test.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you still have any questions about this
