Actual GMAT :
First attempt: 590 (Q38, V34) Second attempt: 700 (Q44, V41) -- PP1 (1 month before the test) : 640 (Q42 V35) Paper test 28 (1 week before the test) : 660 (Q41 V40) PP1 (repeat) (3 days before the test) : 690 (Q44 V41) Paper test 32 (2 days before the test) : 710 (Q44 V43) PP2 (1 day before the test) : 710 (Q48 V40) -- I had just begun working on the Official Guide when I attempted PP1. By the time I attempted PP1 a second time and PP2, I was halfway through all the sections except reading comprehension. The 590 on my (first) actual GMAT was a shocker! I solved a lot more questions from the Official Guide before my second attempt. I also did a few practice problems from the Powerprep tests to get a feel of the computer testing environment. |

Actual 770 / 6.0 (50 quany/45 verb) november '03
Kaplan 550, 610, 590, 640, 620, 650, 640, 670 (in order) I used kaplan and found they were much harder than the real test. my practive scores gradually increased after eight practice exams from 550 to 670, when I felt ready to take the real thing. the practice exams helped me most with the actual format and setting of the exam. I practiced at my desk with no distractions and had a clock next to me at all times. this, and getting the first ten questions right AT ALL COSTS are the two pieces of advice I can offer anyone taking the exam again. good luck, and hope to see you in classes in the fall. |

I'm completely stressed,
I've been studying for the GMAT for 3 months now. I'm going to write the GMAT next week. PP1 - 700 PP2 - 720 REA - 730 Kaplan Diagnostics 650 Kaplan GMAT 1 - 520 Kaplan GMAT 2 - 560 800 Math test (download) 90% All of the practice excercises I've done on the Kaplan V.5 I've done very well usually above 80% (it doesn't scale the score). But I keep getting killed on the Actual practice GMAT CAT for kaplan. I mean even when I go through their answers, it takes me 4-5 minutes per question to write it all down sometimes. Their reading comprehension questions are ALL filled with words which are completely greek to me (nouns and Verbs) which makes it almost impossible to find the purpose, scope etc. I am soooo stressed, should I postpone, I'm shooting for at least a 690 and I don't want to have to repeat it. Does anyone know if the Kaplan software is set up to give you harder questions if you do reasonably well on the diagnostics? I'm thinking of erasing the diagnostics and seeing if the CAT gives me different questions (Easier). I've also been going through the Kaplan 800 book and even THESE questions are much easier than the ones I'm getting when I do the full GMAT CAt in Kaplan!!! AAAGGUGUGUGGHHHGUUGHGG!!!!!! |

Actual GMAT: 700 (Q43/V42)- 3/11/04
PP: 690 - 3/6/04 640 - 2/28/04 Kaplan: 540 (got this twice - a few weeks apart, a month or so before the test) Crack-GMAT: I only used their Quant sections, and they were really good. 29 and 45. Kaplan is crap. I highly recommend the Crack-GMAT Quant materials. |
