Score

[helpgmat]

Hi -

Please help!!! My first CAT score was 560 and my second score was 470. Is the second score more indicative of what I will get on the real exam??? Don't know what to do...lost. Can anyone offer any help in what I should do?

Thanks!!!

Hmm. We'll have to figure out what happened.

Did you take both tests under official testing conditions, including essays and length of breaks? If not, how did you deviate from official conditions for each?

Did you have any timing issues on either test? If you took MGMAT CATs, you can use this article to help you determine whether you had any timing issues:

What were your quant and verbal subscores? Did both drop on the second test, or was most of the drop due to just one section?

Then come back here and tell us what you discovered and we'll help you figure out where to go from there!
