Hi there guys,
I am looking for an opinion on the GMAT Simulator (practice test) by The Economist and GMAT Tutor.
Earlier today, I took a GMAT practice test at London Business School's website, in addition to practicing AWA on Measured Success and IR on Magoosh. The school actually partners with The Economics to provide a full-test simulation of GMAT on the school's website, so I think that is really cool. Because I have not been studying a lot lately (it was Thanksgiving last week and I traveled really far away), I expected my score to take a dip. However, at the end of the test, I received the following results:
Your total GMAT score estimate is: 700-720
Quant: 48-49 (82%-88%)
Verbal: 39-41 (88%-94%)
I was literally shocked because I have never scored a GMAT practice test this high! I have taken two GMAT practice tests previously and scored 660 in both tests. Moreover, I have never scored more than 35 in Verbal before, so scoring a 39 at Verbal is simply outrageous to me.
I would like to receive comments from those who have taken the test on London Business School's website or even from those who have taken GMAT Prep Course with The Economist. How accurate are their practice tests/simulation tests? How do your results compare to the real GMAT?
Also, in my case if scoring 660, 660, and then 700-720 using The Economist's simulation test, do you think it's just merely because of luck?
Looking forward to hearing back from you guys about this. Thank you so much!
Cheers!

I wouldn't put too much faith in the absolute numbers you get out of unofficial GMAT tests. Your most reliable scores would come from the either the free official GMATPrep practice tests from mba.com(https://www.mba.com/global/store/downloa ... tware.aspx) or the two CATs that are part of the Exam Pack 1 extension. Barring these four tests, any other CAT would be good only for building stamina and to keep you in exam mode. There is far too much variability between different third party CATs and how well they reflect the real GMAT.

Hi there,
The GMAT scoring algorithm takes many factors into account including where you make errors, how many mistakes you commit in a row, whether you finish both sections or leave questions out, whether the last few questions of either section seemed like they were guessed at, how you felt on test day, etc. These factors can all affect your score.
From one test to the next you can easily jump +/- 30 points (and even up to 80 or so) depending on where the mistakes are. *Where* you make mistakes can often be more important than how many. Overall, when a student wants to know where he/she stands, the best way to do so is to take the average after a few sim tests. This should get you to a fairly close estimation of where you are at.
In general, our students tend to score within about +/- 30 points or so from what they get on our tests and the GMAT test preps.
If you have more questions, please feel free to call us at +1 (866) 292-0660, and someone can help you!
