Beat The GMAT!

Beat The GMAT is a day-to-day blog detailing how I studied for and beat the Graduate Management Admission Test™ (GMAT). This site shall serve as a study guide for future GMAT test takers.



Day 63 - Princeton Review CAT 4


I took the last full-length practice CAT off of the Princeton Review CD. It went okay: 720 (45Q, 45V). This is a decent score, but I would like to have seen something in the mid 700s since this is my last PR test. I guess it didn't help that I got the very first question wrong on the verbal section.

One thing that I'm concerned about is my quantitative score. For the real exam, I believe that I need to be scoring around 47-50 in order to have a fair shot at my goal of 750+. So far the highest quantitative performance I've had on any given practice test is 46. Morever, since I hear that the quantitative section on the actual GMAT is a bit harder than can be seen on OG, I'm feeling a little nervous.

But it's Friday, so I'm not going to worry about it until Monday. Enjoy the weekend!

SUMMARY OF DAY 63 WORK:
1. Princeton Review CAT 4, off of PR CD.
2. Flashcards.

RECAP OF DAY 63 INSIGHTS:
1. I hope my quant is much better on the real GMAT, or else I won't reach my goal.

Thanks for the tips--I haven't run out of problems just yet...

And yeah, I've stopped studying on the weekends because I found that doing so makes me insane.

Hey Eric,

I think you need not fret about your quant too much. Princeton scoring system seems to be different from ETS's.

I took a princeton CAT today myself and scored 740 (47Q, V46). I got only one qn wrong (qn. 36) in quant but still my score went down to 47. I recall however that I managed to score 50Q in my PP1 test despite getting 1 non-experimental qn [4 in all] wrong! Weird..

I think a lot of it is psychology for me. I'm not a naturally math-friendly person, so I feel a bit insecure about how well I will do on quant.

Also, I had a lot more than just 1 quant question wrong on my Princeton CAT...

Hey Eric,

What are the flash cards that you are talking about man ? I am making my own notes in Word which kinda sux cos I have to scroll through the entire stuff everytime..Ne pointers on what the flash cards are ?

Cnu:

My flashcards are much more low-tech. I just went to Wal-Mart and bought a few sets of blank, cardboard flashcards. As I read through material, I write a note or a concept down on each flashcard in pen. Pretty simple and easy to review.

Best of luck!
