Question

Hey

Yesterday, I gave a gmat club quant test and scored Q 48, how much is this closer to actual test as these questions felt difficult and sometimes wordy to me.

Also, should I attempt verbal test as some people have told me that they are not much good and can be de-motivating.

You can always check the verified reviews of these tests that'll give you a good idea of how accurate they are from here - https://gmatclub.com/reviews/tests-gmat ... -345345662

Regarding Verbal you're right they aren't the best and you're better off using tests of mba.com or the other test-prep companies that have higher quality questions in their tests.

You should be able to score a q49/50.
But it all depends on how well you perform on test day.

Hello, Gag1994. A Q48 is an excellent score on a GMAT Club Quant test. These are nearly universally regarded as more difficult than the actual Quant portion of the exam. I have known two people who have scored a 45 on a GMAT Club Quant test while hitting a 50 on the real test, so there is no shame in your 48. Just focus on what you did right to earn that score, as well as on what you could do better to claw back a few more points, and you should have no trouble hitting a higher score on the actual exam.

Regarding the Verbal portion, I have not looked at it in a while, but I will say that a couple years ago, I was put off by an RC passage that popped up in the first few questions of my test. The phrasing was off, and I could not overcome the distraction. It is best to stick to official questions for Verbal. (You will find near universal agreement from tutors, teachers, and other Experts on this point, unless someone is hoping to sell you on a course.)

The only mock scores you should place stock in are those from your first attempt of each official practice test. Everything else should be treated as a learning opportunity on a question-by-question basis, nothing more.

Good luck with your studies.

Hi gag1994,

To start, taking an individual section of the GMAT - outside of the context of taking the FULL Exam under realistic testing conditions - is not a great way to measure your GMAT skills (and how you might perform on the Official GMAT). There are a variety of factors that can impact your performance on a Full Exam, including the type of Exam that you're using, the time of day that you start the Exam, the testing conditions, how well-rested you are, etc. - and you're ultimately avoiding most of those issues by taking just an individual section. This is all meant to say that if you'd like to define how you might likely perform on the Official GMAT, then you need to take a FULL CAT and make sure to take it in a realistic fashion that matches-up with what you will face when you take the Official GMAT (take the FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, if you will be at a Test Facility, then wear a face mask, etc.).

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
