Hi GMAT preppers
I'm currently studying for the GMAT and have purchased The Economist GMAT tutor.
Does anyone have a sense of how well your PAL score in the program translates into what score you can expect on the actual GMAT?
E.g. I consistently score 7/7/7 on verbal modules with plenty of time to spare. However, I score from 5-7 on quant and am way too slow on level 6/7 questions.
I realize the PAL score doesn't translate directly into the GMAT score. But I'd like to hear if anyone has any experience for comparison.

Hello, dsr35. To be concise, there is no way to really judge how well you might perform on the actual exam until you have practiced a few official mock tests (CATs). I have read enough debriefs to know that there is a wide variance across different platforms for the same test-taker. One caveat: The Economist can be a good way to build foundational knowledge and hone your test-taking methods, but make sure you are working in official questions on a regular basis. I worked with a client not too long ago who had used the prep course, and I was shocked to learn that all the practice questions were in-house, and that all the discussion, the extra tutoring, the person had paid for was centered on these same imitation questions. It was, at least for him, an eye-opening experience to transition from that material to the official material he and I started discussing. Perhaps that was just his experience, but if I can spare you the frustration...
My advice is to let some steam off and take an official CAT soon. Then, and only then, will you know, without having to take the actual exam, where you stand.
Good luck with your preparation.

Hi dsr35,
Unfortunately, there's no practical way to 'translate' your performance on a set of practice questions into an equivalent GMAT Score. The only practical way to assess how you might Score on the Official GMAT is to take FULL-LENGTH CATs at regular intervals and under realistic conditions (re: taking the FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, etc.). If you have not taken any CATs/mocks yet, then you can access 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials).
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) Have you used any other study materials besides the course that you listed? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
