GMAT Prep - can I trust the score?

[heike2504]

hi, I just did the 2nd test of GMAT Prep today and scored 520. As I need 500 in the real test and didn't manage it last time I took the GMAT I am wondering if I can rely on the GMAT Prep that I improved (I've been studying quite hard during the last days)

Has anyone experience?

Thanks for letting me know!

GMAT prep is a level higher thn real GMAT .

The quant in GMAT Prep tests is of a higher level of difficulty than that in the real GMAT, however the scoring in GMAT Prep is a lot more lenient (I once got 3 questions wrong on GMAt Prep quant and the software still gave me a perfect 51).

My scores
GMAT Prep: Test1 - 770, Test2 - 770
Powerprep: Test1 - 750, Test2 - 780
Actual GMAT: 760

In sum, I've found the GMAT Prep software to project real GMAT scores fairly accurately.

That sounds great, so I will study for 2 more weeks and than take the GMAT on the 10ths of september! Hope to improve in RC... it's my weakest point!
Thanks a lot!

I have not taken the GMAT yet but have given the powerprep and GMATprep CATs.
I m sure the GMATprep is much more difficult than the powerprep. But it's also true that
GMATprep scores mercifully. Among the 1st 10 questions of Quant I got 3 questions wrong including the very first one and still scored 47 in quant. I had total 11 wrong in quant.

Just hope to pass the 500 and I am happy

i am a moron and still can't seem to find it. i went under 'tools preparation' @ mba.com but only see the powerprep instead of the gmat prep.
