<p>I know that the GMAT is computerized and the system it uses to score depend on the difficulty of questions, questions attempted, questions answered correctly, etc. I recently purchased a study guide for it, but I don't know how to find and accurate score. Does anyone know a way to give a "ball park" guess for the test?</p>
<p>there is no way to ball park a number unless you take a computerized test. The computer gives you a harder next question if you get the previous one correct and gives you an easier one if you get it incorrect. It's not a linear system either. getting the first 2 questions correct will give you a higher score than missing one then getting the next 2 correct.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help. Are there any online practice tests that can give an accurate assessment?</p>
<p>Rob,</p>
<p>The Official GMAT site offers a couple of free tests. DEFINITELY take them! Also, Kaplan and Princeton review should also offer online tests.</p>
<p>However, there is no way to tell exactly what you will get. When I took the test I had numbers in my head based on my practice exams. IE, if I get worse than this number I'll be ****ed. I expect to get in this range. If I get higher than that I'll be very happy...etc.</p>
<p>You should be able to gauge approximately where you are at but I have heard of anomalies (ie scoring a 600 when you were scoring 720s on practice tests and vice versa). These can partially be attributed to test anxiety and the pressure the GMAT test can put on you when you take it. Also, some people take the same practice test over and over which will certainly help them improve their score on that test regardless of whether they are actually improving.</p>
<p>Thanks Vector, I will try them out.</p>
