Hello Mike.
I'm giving the GMAT exam on the 6th of February. Over the last 2 months, I've attempted a number of Mock Tests, detailed here:
MGMAT 1: 540
MGMAT 2: 680
MGMAT 3: 690 - 5th January 2014
MGMAT 4: 710 - 15th January 2014
GMATPrep1: 770 - 23rd January 2014
MGMAT 5: 690 - 24th January 2014
My Quant score has been consistently between 48-50 in both
MGMAT Tests and the GMAT Prep Test I gave. My Verbal score for
MGMAT has been ranging from 36-40(10-15 questions wrong out of 41). But my verbal score for GMATPrep was 45 (Just 6 wrong out of 41), hence the change in the final score.
I think the change has to do with the fact that I found the verbal questions on the GMATPrep exams better framed as compared to
MGMAT. The CR questions had a more obvious connection with the answer, the SC questions made more sense with regards to their meaning and the RC questions were again more obvious when I went through the options. Considering our discussion about poor quality verbal questions from a few days ago, I wanted to know what your view is on the above mentioned discrepancy.
Also, I've heard a few people say the GMAT has become tougher since they published the GMAT Prep Tests and that an
MGMAT test is closer to the real deal? But others believe the GMAT Prep tests are as close as they get to the real thing. Could you please elaborate on your experience with the same?
I'll keep you updated on my GMAT Prep 2 score once I give it in the coming week.
