Scores in MGMAT compared to mba.com's

by aitor.garriga Sun Apr 24, 2011 10:39 am

Hi, i've nocticed that doing an average of 6 errors more in MGMAT practice tests i still get better scores than when doing it with the mba.com ones.

is that correct?

Thank you

The test algorithms are not exactly the same because they were built by different people - but it also isn't as simple as reducing it to the number correct or incorrect. There are a LOT of factors that go into calculating your score; the overall number right or wrong is just one of them.
