Questions on recent progress [#permalink] Questions on recent progress   03 Jun 2021, 07:08
I am fairly new to the GMAT prep and so I was trying out PS and DS questions from GMAT prep 12th edition to see where I stood.
Haven't done any other section yet but in these 2 sections, I scored 217/230(94.34%) and 143/174(82.18%) respectively.
I wanted to know where I would stand with a similar performance in the actual exam, I am pretty confident in my mathematics so this is one area I would want to not want to let me down in the exam at least.
If I score similarly in the actual paper, where would I stand?

Hi and welcome to GMAT Club!

It is tough to tell based on the pure number of questions without knowing the difficulty or which ones you missed so here is what I would say based on my crazy method (completely unscientific):
if you can take 10 questions of easy, medium, and hard difficulty, and....

miss 10%, you are at 750.
miss 20%, you are at 700
miss 30%, you are at 650
miss 40%, you are at 600

Now, I would recommend that you actually study using a guidebook or a course (something other than OG).
Also, I want to warn you that some of the OG 12 questions are in the GMAT Prep so you don't want to head to the OG 12 (or perhaps that's OG 21 you meant to say?).

And if you want to see how wildly scoring differs based on a few factors, here is a topic for you:

Doing an Official Mock (2 are free on mba.com) might be helpful in giving an idea how you'd perform on the Actual. Try to simulate the exam conditions when you give it. All the best.

Hi LoneWolf14159,

To truly see where you are at, you should take a full-length practice exam from MBA.com. Also, since you are pretty new to the GMAT, here is a helpful article you can check out:

Hi LoneWolf14159,

Depending on how you went about working through those questions, it's likely that your overall content knowledge is reasonably strong. However, working through hundreds and hundreds of questions in a book is not equivalent to taking a Full-Length, adaptive Exam under realistic Testing conditions - so there's no practical way to 'translate' that performance into an equivalent GMAT Score.

About 1 week ago, we discussed how it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test - and that is still the case You can access 2 for free at www.mba.com. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have that Score, you should report back here and we can discuss the results.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
