Opinion requested - Experts' Global Mocks

Question

Hi all,

I just gave an Experts' Global Mock and found it way above the other mocks (except the official ones) in all other aspects including quality of questions, similarity to official mocks, analytics (10/10); but the scoring perplexes me completely.

I got a V 39, even though I ended up getting a total of 13(!) questions wrong, including 4 in first 10 and 6 in first 15. Is such a score possible, in spite of these many errors?

Hence I wanted to seek the opinion of other people who have given this mock and can validate.

Look forward to hearing.

anirudhmittal23 - Honestly, Experts' Global practice tests are very reliable. These questions in these practice tests are extremely similar to the ones offered by GMAT Prep in terms of pattern and flavor. Furthermore, the predictive algorithm works pretty effectively as you can feel the test gets tougher when you perform well. After each test, the software provides an in-depth analysis of the test performance, including a progress graph for the overall test and for each individual section, pie charts for incorrect questions topic-wise for each section, bar graphs for accuracy in terms of topics and difficulty level, etc. I strongly recommend the Experts' Global practice tests.

anirudhmittal23 - GMAT is a test of ability, not accuracy. Replying on accuracy will not help you make progress in test preference; instead, you have to go deeper: at what level were did those 13 questions belong? Getting an easy question (500 level) incorrect will lower your score further than getting a hard question (700 level) incorrect. Also, getting questions incorrect in a string will lower your score further than getting those same number of questions incorrect but spread a considerable length. Therefore, you can get 13 incorrect questions but still, score a V39. I have gotten 10+ questions incorrect on GMAT Prep practice tests and scored above V40. You will need to spend some time to understand the GMAT algorithm. For that, I recommend the below topic.

Hi Anirudh,

Thanks for your kind words.

As  DisciplinedPrep  explained, it is theoretically possible to get a high score despite high number of mistakes- simplistically, when you get a higher proportion of difficult questions correct.

A general feedback that we get is that the score/split students get in our mocks is similar to that in official mocks and often so on real GMAT. Rest, the advice is always to take mocks for practice/learning; if knowing your score is the sole reason for taking a mock at some stage, go for official tests.

All the best!
