Hi
I took today a CAT in order to assess my overall performance
this was my first practice exam after a long break.
unfortunately on the verbal part around the 30ish question i started guessing (mostly the RC and CR)
the overall Verbal grade was 33 (67% percentile)
and by question type
SC 41
CR 31
and RC 27
what I can not understand is how come my RC score is so relatively low
I had in total 4 passages (13 Qs total)
passage 1 (and order out of the 41 questions)
Q1, Q2, Q3 (all three were right
passage 2
Q4 Q5 Q6 Q7 (all four right)
passage 3
Q10 Q11 Q12 (only 1 was wrong)
Passage 4
Q33 - wrong
Q34 - wrong
Q35 - wrong
13 in total and only 4 wrong
I can't understand it mostly b/u I noticed that Gmat scores on the begging much more that after -
can anybody explain it?

It's only natural for test takers to look for consistency in GMATPrep scoring, but the fact is that the GMAT is an adaptive test, and in such tests two people could get completely different scores even after getting the same number of questions right (or wrong). The GMAC has always maintained that the GMATPreps use the same algorithm as the actual GMAT, so the scoring should be reliable. Keep working on your weaknesses, and try not to worry about how exactly GMATPrep scoring works.

Hi yoavyes ,
Was this a GMAT Prep exam or a test prep company test? Also, in a Computer Adaptive Test, two test takers with similar accuracy (number of correct answers per sub-section ) can have vastly different scores.
- I have never seen a GMAT Prep with 10 RC questions out of first 12 verbal questions.
In the GMAT, a couple of questions are experimental. So this might explain as the passage for which you answered all questions correctly might be experimental and hence not count towards your total score.
(thought it is random order)
