Scored a 530 on my first MGMAT CAT

MGMAT CATS are known to be harder than the actual test. The MGMAT quant section is definitely harder than the Magoosh quant portion. After I took my first MGMAT CAT I searched on GMAT club for the difficulty of the questions and 80% of them were above the 75% difficulty rating on this site (with a good majority at 85% or 95%). I am decent at math, but I will probably end up with a 48 or 49. I was surprised to see the difficulty level that high for so many questions.

Best practice is to review the answers you got wrong for better understanding and keep chugging along. I scored a 610 on my first gmat prep test (left 6, i know 6 questions!!!!, unanswered) because it is important to practice timing and my timing was way off. On my next CAT, Magoosh, I scored a 680 with only 1 quant question unanswered.

If you worry too much, it will get in the way of your studying. Make sure you know what you did wrong and hit the books again!

Good luck!
