MGMAT 3 - got 710

by shanker.tv Thu Jul 30, 2009 4:02 pm

I scored 710 in MGMAT 3.
Q51, V36 . I am not sure how Quant percentile is calculated here, I got 10 wrong, and still managed a 51 .

My actual date with GMAT is in 5 days. Any clues on how close this score could be to the actual score ?

Probably really close - The Manhattan GMAT Quant questions are generally considered harder than the real thing.

Got 720 in MGMAT 4. Also got the same score in GMATPREP2. I am not able to break the 720 barrier.

I have the GMAT in 3 days, really nervous.

You're doing really well. Don't take more practice tests - you'll just tire yourself out and you're not going to learn much from taking a practice test in the last few days.

The standard deviation on our tests is about 50 points. The standard deviation on GMATPrep is likely around 30-40 points. (The SD on the real test is about 30 points.)

Also, it's fine to be nervous - everybody is. But do think about how you're going to keep yourself mostly calm so you can perform on the test. Here are some articles that may help:

Good luck - keep up the good work and let us know how it goes!
