I just Beat The GMAT!

In my opinion GMAT PREP CAT's are the best for VERBAL and are fairly close in quant. I found the current quant to be one notch higher than GMAT PREP, but I still think working with GMAT PREP to be the best option. MGMAT Quant is mighty tough, but worth going over, since the explanations are spot on, and the SHORTCUTS they suggest can help you on the real thing. Timing is hard to get a hold on, in the MGMAT QUANT section, but they did score me similar to the actual test. The New Veritas Prep CAT is awesome, and very close to the level of the current GMAT in my opinion. Since i had bought Veritas books during my first attempt, I had taken the older CAT's which were changed in May. I've only taken their free updated CAT and if that is anything to by, the new CAT's rock! The quant is very similar to what is on the real thing, and their verbal has always been as close as you could try to make it. With MGMAT and VP, do not bother about Verbal scores, concentrate on the question types you get wrong and in between CAT's work on those areas. Try to do GMAT PREP as much as you can, I must have done each test about 6 times. Also search for "LEGENDDADY" on GMAT CLUB, and download the files he has posted, which are basically GMAT PREP questions, as well as questions from some other CAT's. Those are the best practice sources once you are done with your CAT's.

I hope you get inspired from my story, I had no quant background, and had not touched Math for almost a decade prior to begining my Gmat Prep. If I can do well, almost anyone can.
