GMAT diagnostic test result

Hey Mukul.. great site..
I just started my GMAT prep this week... solved a few diagnostic questions from the OG and took 1 of the two tests available through download on mba.com -- GMATPrep practice test
and got a 50 in Q, 41 in Verbal with a 750,
with 7 wrong in each... although i'm pretty happy with the result... not sure how much i should be reading into it... do you think it's a decent reflection of the actual gmat, i'm guessing it isn't computer adaptive anyway.. would really like to hear your thoughts.. thanks.

re: GMATPrep Practice Test Scoring

Yes, I meant incorrect not "did not finish." This was my first GMATPrep practice test attempt. I went back and looked and I missed 8 Quant and 9 Verbal. However, I did not miss a Quant problem until problem 18. They were all very difficult and it took me longer than expected. I am a fast test taker and I barely finished in time. Anyways, concerning Kaplan Tests... I have only taken 2 so I have yet to see the same problem twice. I am scheduled to take my exam on October 10 & I am shooting to score a 730. Do you think my three practice tests thus far are good indicators that I will achieve this score on the actual test?

GMAT Prep Score doubt

When you say missed...do you mean you werent able to finish the exam or you got them incorrectly. I am assuming you did not do them correctly. Well this is my analysis.

710 is a good score. I got a 710, but without preparation. I got a 740 at the end of my preparation. So you could say you are certainly there.

It also depends on your consistency....Kaplan 650-690 is very good. I hope you are not encountering familiar questions (too many of them)

12 in quants is BAD. Try to bring it under 6.
9 in verbal is VERY GOOD. Keep it up!

I am guessing if you are consistent and bring Q to under 6 mistakes, you may even be looking at 750.

Hope that helps.

GMATPrep Practice Test Scoring

GMATer or other that know,

I just took the first of two GMATPrep practice tests contained in the software that downloaded from the www.mba.com website. My score was a 710. My goal is to make a 730 so I am pleased with this outcome. However, I am hesitant to believe the accuracy of this score when I missed so many of the questions. I got the first 10 questions right in both Quant and Verbal but I missed roughly 12 in Q and 9 in Verb. Given, the math was very difficult and so was the Verbal. My predicted scaled scores were 49 in Quant & 37 in Verbal. I have read that the GMATPrep CAT tests are the most accurate but I am still a little worried and needed some verification.

Questions: Did anyone else have similar results? If so, can you verify whether your true score was a close reflection of the predicted score?

PS: I have been studying and practicing with mostly Kaplan prep materials and my practice test scores usually range from 650- 690. I missed fewer questions with Kaplan so was not nearly concerned about scoring accuracy but nonetheless, Can anyone answer the same questions concerning these tests.

reg : validity of the scores

Dear mukul,
As per the GMAC website the GMAT score is valid for five years, but i
have come across many posts in pagalguy and www.learnhub.com which say
that many top b schools don take a gmat score more than two years old
. and, if you could tell me how the asian b schools like ISB, NUS ,
Nanyang, HKUST and other good schools would take the GMAT score, Will
an older GMAT score(within the validity period of five years but more
than two years old ) be a factor in the admissions .
