MGMAT CAT 3 Verbal section analysis

[japjeet.s]

Hello

I just gave the MGMAT CAT 3 and scored a good 710 (Q45 and V 41) .

On the verbal sections I found a few CR question(7-8) familiar and knew the answers for that already and got them done quickly .

I scored 11 on 14 on CR ,11 on 15 on SC and 9 on 12 on RC , With 8 minutes to spare as I knew the answers already for some question .

Could someone please let me know what is the score I can expect with such a performance (with no familiar questions ) and also areas I need to focus for Verbal section to score about the same in the actual GMAT

There's no way to tell what score you would have gotten, unfortunately. The algorithm is too complex - your performance would depend on what would have happened on whatever new questions you did get.

If you answered all of them correctly, chances are you artificially inflated your score because you probably wouldn't have gotten every last one correct if they'd been totally new.

Further, you said you answered 7 to 8 questions almost immediately, which would have saved you around 15 minutes, but you finished only 8 minutes early - so you gave yourself extra time on some other problems - and you normally wouldn't get that extra time. That could have artificially inflated your performance elsewhere.

All of this almost certainly inflated your score, probably by a decent amount - but it's impossible for me to tell (or even ballpark) how much.

To get a better sense of your current level, you can try taking a GMATPrep or other test where you won't see questions you've seen before.

Also, you're either taking the tests too closely together or you're taking them too many times (to recognize so many questions). Read this:

Next, if you want specific advice about what to study, we need detailed data on your strengths and weaknesses on the verbal section - and that data needs to be relatively "untainted" (so, not from this last test where you knew a bunch of the questions already).

This is how you can analyze your MGMAT tests:

(Again, though, if the starting data is "tainted," then the analysis won't be as useful.)

Hello stacey.

I recently wrote both the GMAT prep exams . While the quant score was the same for both the tests,The verbal score dopped by 7 points .

GMAT prep1 :710 (q49,V38)
GMAT perp 2 : 640 (q49,V 31 )

The incorrect questions count in verbal in Prep1 exams were 13 and in perp 2 was 12 . Could you help me understand what happend ?

I expected the score to be higher this time and it fell like anything . I have GMAT schuduled on 29th ... 2 days left :(
