Stacey- need help

by yogeshwar.aca Mon Jan 17, 2011 2:22 pm

Hi Stacey

I've taken the GMAT earlier(MGMAT's included) and my quant levels have always been between (44-46). However I was taken aback in this mock cat, the difficulty level was high. I guess I lost time and ended up panicking towards the end. I took this test without much prep , just to see where I stand. ( and its not good). Is this the regular difficulty level ( questions from 1- 30 have 21 questions at 700-800 level, on which I had to spend more time). I was also hopelessly out of form to say the least. Do you think I can get the hit 48 -49 in a month's time with 2 hours of prep atleast.

The test gives you what you "earn," essentially - so it is what it is, depending upon what you do with the questions. :)

You asked me whether you can hit a certain score, but you didn't tell me what score you got on this test. Also, I can't analyze the data you posted - it doesn't include whether you got the questions right or wrong. In any event, though, I don't want you to simply post the data. Use the below article to analyze the data - everyone needs to be able to do the analysis themselves. :)

http://www.manhattangmat.com/articles/e ... -part1.cfm

Did you take this test under 100% official conditions, including the essays? If not, please specify how you deviated from official conditions (that can sometimes inflate your score).

Come back and post about the above (your analysis from the article - the more thorough the better - and the testing conditions), and I'll help you develop a plan!
