How was your Quantitative section score? surprise, practice, perhaps, where

JustasS

Did you find your quant section score surprising? I recall there was one vignette with six questions and in the exam, I found it rather easy and straightforward. Quant items had been perhaps my strongest area in EOD and practice exams. To my surprise, this was the only section where I scored in the less than 50% range...

I'm not sure if the questions were particularly tricky or if it was just my loss of focus.

I read the quant books and still got below 50 (only section I have got below 50 in both level 1 and 2). I think something in the questions threw some of us.

If you really read the quant books very closely, the quant wasn't hard at all...If you just did EOCs, then I think you would have been unprepared for it.

I too found quant score surprising. I thought it was easy and I will get at least get 5/6 and ended up at <=50%

in this particular section the 51-70% range means nailing 4 out if 6 questions.. which is pretty high considering the tricky prose.. I got that score in this section too, scored 6 sections over 70% and 4 in the 51-70% range, passed.

i thought it was this way also and i got 50-70, so maybe i missed some of the tricks.

I remembered it was harder than the practice exams I've taken and made a few guesses. Managed to score >70 though.

Quant was not as straightforward as I thought it would be..but still easier than some other sections IMHO..>70
