Hi folks
Just before I take the real exam I am working out a few things to see how the exam works while scaling ones score. May be more out of curosity than anything else. Thot would share a few things with you guys .To find how the PP program works I did a few permutations and commbinations to see how many questions one needs to do right to achieve 40+ score. I am listing a few of the findings.
Right Question no Wrong Scaled Score
34/41 5,8,13,17. 24,28,30 41
33/41 7 wrong in first 20 35(Who says it doesnt matter where u get them wrong. It matters unless PP software differs from the real test)
31/41 (9,24,31,34,35,37,38,39,40,41) Scaled score: 39
I feel the first few are the ones that really determine ones score. Anyone who has tried some similar tricks , please share ur experience. I know its best to let the test do its work while we do our bit...but I feel that this would give a fair indiaction as to where we should put most of our effort and when to put that too interms of spending the most time.
cheers

I'm sure the later questions aren't worth as much as the first few ones(maybe a lot less)
Try to get the first 12 questions right, then do get every other one wrong from there on. I tried it once on PP3 and ended up with 45 I think. That's like 12 questions wrong there.
By the way, I wrote the real thing on Friday, and I randomly guessed question 33~38 on my Verbal cause i didn't have enough time to read that huge RC. Ended up with 36 on Verbal. But look I've always been scoring around 34 to 36 on the PR's. That means those questions that I guessed didn't even do **** to my score(unless I was doing really well on the test day and could of gotten 40 if I didn't guessed those)

Ya thats probably right . But am at a loss to understand why ETS has programmed it that way. One can spend all of 75 mins in the first 30 and end up gettinmg above 40 ... Its a little strange and I belive there should be some justification for it . May be there is one which we dont know. Brad just one thing man. How would u compare the real thing with the OG. I have been preparing since the last 2 months almost and nearing my exam day. IU generally pick up 41 questions from the OG or GMAT plus and do the questions in a timed environbment. ANd thats been the precedent since the last 1 month each day. I normally end up with 32-34 right on an average. I am gunning for a verbal score of above 40 minimum... So seeing the way test works I am still not convinced that getting 32 right or 34 right makes any difference till I get the first few right... let me know ur comments...
