Hungry Minds Cliffs Gre_CHARTING AND ANALYZING YOUR TEST RESULTS

343 CHARTING AND ANALYZING YOUR TEST RESULTS Use the charts on the following pages to carefully analyze your results and spot your strengths and weaknesses. You should also complete the entire process of an- alyzing problems in each subject area for the practice test. You can then reexam- ine these for trends in types of errors (repeated errors) or poor results in specific subject areas. This reexamination and analysis is of tremendous importance in helping you maximize your score. Be sure to also carefully read the answers and explanations that follow these charts. Verbal Section The first step in analyzing your results is charting your answers. On the following chart, draw a small square around the questions you answered correctly and a small circle around the ones you missed. As you follow the path of your questions, be sure to mark the right/wrong box to the left of each question. (You may wish to use a highlighter to graphically follow your path.)

Average Level Correct Although the GRE CBT uses very precise measures to calculate your score, the following calculations will give you a very general approximation of the average level of question that you got right. Note: Count all Reading Comprehension questions as level 3 questions. Trying to finish all 30 questions is important, and the following score chart as- sumes that you’ve done so.

First work all of the problems at the 1 level, that is, 4-1, 5-1, 6-1, 7-1, and so on. Review the answer to each problem after you work it. Having attempted and re- viewed the simpler problems, next work and review all the level 2 problems, that is, 4-2, 5-2, 6-2, 7-2, and so on. Continue this process until you’ve worked all the problems available on this simu- lated exam. Starting with the easier problems will help you build a basis for your review. Likewise, following this process will help you prepare to attack the more difficult problems. 350 Part II: Full-Length GRE CBT Practice Test Team-LRN . 343 CHARTING AND ANALYZING YOUR TEST RESULTS Use the charts on the following pages to carefully analyze your results and spot your strengths and weaknesses Part II: Full-Length GRE CBT Practice Test Now that you’ve completed charting your path, tally your responses and review and analyze the results with the following
