hey there,
on the 8th of may ( thursday) i'll be taking the GMAT exame.
i was wondering about this CAT tests and parcitulary the scoring accuracy of the gmat prep program.
1st test i took : Q44, had 16 wrong questions , #: (4,5,9,10,11.12.13.17.18.21.22.31.32.35.36,37)- as u can see, most of them (5 back to back) ta the beginning, and at the end lots of them back to back as well.
2nd test i took: Q42 had 10 wrong questions , #: (2.3.4.12.21.22.23,34,37)- as u can see, 2 sets of back to back wrong answers where the biggest sequance is 4, and is in the middle.
Now, i know its a "CAT " but none the less, it dosent make any sense at all, that the 2nd test score is 42 while the first is 44. According to what the test makers says is that if u get a wrong question your next question will worth less and be easier so my guess is that due to this 3 incorrect answers at the beginning my questions level droped alot? but yet again in the 1st test i have questions 4,5 and 9-13 wrong.
I saw a similer test resulsts from some one and he got aprox 49, I'm aware to the fact that you can't comper 1 test taker to another but still, was wondering what could have gone worng?
my test is soon and i need a score of 44, most of the tests i took were 10-15mistakes overall and usually i scored 46-44 and all of a sudden this score.
asking for your help and experiance with this tests to help me out with understanding it since i'm bit scared due to this grade.
sincerely yours,
freezy.

ya that's what i'm assuming made the diffrence, should have invested 1 more minute in there and that should have solved it.
"4. What is the penalty if I miss every third question?
Experiment: I will try to test a scenario in which a test takers answers every third question incorrectly (e.g. 3, 6, 9, etc. Thus giving themselves an extra 2 mins on quant). This scenario will simulate someone who takes 3 mins instead of 2 per question and then guesses every third question. Please note that this is the worst case scenario (we do not get any guesses right)
Methodology: Every 3rd questions answered incorrectly. So, 13 incorrect and 24 correct answers.
Results: Q49, 85th percentile
Analysis: Slightly lower score than in the case of missing the last 10 questions but it was much less effort in getting here(fewer hard questions than in the second or third scenarios I have tested). So far this is the best value in terms of effort/final score
Total Score: This time every question in the verbal section was answered as "C" this time and it resulted in the final score of V8, 1st percentile. Total score: 460, 23rd percentile."
thats interesting, i wish i knew this earlier since Q49 is much more then what i need :p
