The range of my score.

[studsar87]

Hi,

I have taken 4 of your MGMAT Full-length CATs. I have received the following scores. 710, 660, 690, 680. I am taking my Real GMAT on Monday. Could you please give me an idea or a range of how much I might expect in my Real exam?

Thanks

Sorry we weren't able to get back to you before today. In future, please don't rely on the forums for a quick response - it is very common to wait at least 2 to 3 days for a response here.

If you have any questions requiring an immediate answer, please contact our Student Services team directly at studentservices@manhattangmat.com, 800.576.GMAT (US and Canada), or 212.721.7400.

There is a standard deviation of about 50 points from last MGMAT CAT to official test. You're more likely to be at or close to your MGMAT scoring range if you took the practice CATs under 100% official conditions, including essay, IR, length of breaks, etc.

If you skipped the essay and/or IR, if you took longer breaks than allowed, if you used the pause button, etc, then it's more likely that your practice test scores are artificially inflated and, as such, more likely that your real test score will drop.

Given your range of scores, I'd say that you're most likely to score in the high 600s, but if you did deviate from official testing conditions, then expect a lower score.

Also, three other circumstances can lead to score drops on test day: burnout / mental fatigue (from doing too much in the last few days), timing mismanagement, and significant test anxiety.
