rakhisingh70 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) Please suggest. Not getting good scores in practice tests. Does practice on OG 12 help in improving scores? I can put in 10+ hours of studies. Edited July 12, 2010 by rakhisingh70 I wanted to put in hours of studies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashishb Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 hi guys, I'd like to join in too ..... I'm not preparing for quant(because I'm an Indian) but have a lot of trouble with my Verbal portion(due to to the same reason I guess) I've given a few(5) gmat prac tests and have seen my score vary from 600(q-50,v-29... it was KAPLAN) to 740(q-51,v-38..... gmat prep) so i'm not really sure about my current standing but I'm certain that I would like to improve my verbal score and keep it consistently above 36.. faltering(and answering them incorrectly) with RCs is the bane of my life ..... because I lost a lot of time in RCs, I try to make up for it by rushing through, and thereby, answering the CR and SC questions incorrectly... Please help me get out of this pit... And yes, I too am planning to give my GMAT in October 2010 ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashishb Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 can anyone tell me that if someone gets about 51 in quant .... what is the min. score he/she needs to score above 700 ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sason Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 can anyone tell me that if someone gets about 51 in quant .... what is the min. score he/she needs to score above 700 ........ q45 v40 should get you about 700 (+-10 points) ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadian phd Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 With a 51Q, I'd say you could get a 700 with 33v. If you want to be safe, make it 34v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashishb Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 thnx for the input .... V-34.... and how reliable are the scores form the practice tests such as the 800score and Kaplan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sason Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I dont trust 800score too much (my personal opinion) ... kaplan is good but have heard that it has a somewhat different scoring algo ... I think manhattan tests are the best ( not including the 2 GMAC tests in comparison ) ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashishb Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 800score's score is generally inflated or deflated ? just gave a quant test of manhattan gmat(the free one available on the site).... I found it to be way above the level of gmac prep test.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
