So what does that mean? It means that (as per the official guide) I am just slightly above the average person taking this diagnostic test which is in and of itself only .75-.89 percent statistically reliable with a "subscale classification" of about 85%-90% accurate. Meaning that I'm guaranteed average of 90% of 89% of people that take this (so I'm average among an average amount of people. At least that rules out undeniably stupid.)
Even figuring out where you stand on this test is only achievable for a minority of the population. Anything that takes all your hard work and positive self-image from the last 16 years of your education and makes you feel like all you've ever learned was from the back of a cereal box is evil.
And data sufficiency? Come on...Is statement 1 or 2 sufficient to answer the question, or is just one of them sufficient, or both together or separately, or neither together? Why don't you just get straight to the point. Each question should read, "are you sufficient?" with the possible answers of yes or no. The correct answer is no, so anyone who answers yes receives a bad score and realizes that in fact, they are not sufficient. And all those who consistently answer no are meek and humble and deserve entrance into an MBA program, but will still be denied because they feel they are consistently insufficient, and I mean, come on who wants that in an MBA program?
If they hadn't made the movie "Catch me if you Can" I could've probably just faked my way through an MBA program, now I'm screwed and have to pay $250 bucks for the GMAT to tell me I'm of average intelligence.
According to wikianswers, just by having 16 years of education, you're in the top %24 in the USA, and top 1% world wide...
ReplyDeleteI may have low standards, but that in itself makes me feel high acheiving.
Dale, you'll always be slightly above average in my book.
ReplyDeleteso when do you take the real GMAT?
