Hi All,

I am looking to give around 15-20 full tests before the actual tests. But i am sligthly confused as to which all tests i should give, since there are so many tests available

I have shortlisted the following
- GMAT prep 1 & 2 (Twice)
- PwerPrep 1 & 2
- Manhattan 1 & 2
- Score 800 - Not Sure??
- Kaplan - not sure ???

Would be great, if you guys could suggest me the must give tests

Thanks,
SM

For evaluating your status the best tests to give are GMAT prep and Power prep. The rest i.e. Kaplan,Manhattan and 800 make good practice material.

Don't do 800score.com tests. Everyone says they bear little resemblance to the real thing.

Also don't do the Powerprep tests. They are too old to be useful, and apparently aren't truly adaptive.

Definitely do the GMATPrep tests. You can uninstall and reinstall them to get mostly new questions, and I would do that instead of Powerprep.

The Princeton Review tests are the next closest to the real GMAT, and they come with the Cracking the GMAT book, which I have also found to be very helpful for strategy.

I personally chose not to do Kaplan because of all the complaints about them in the forum.
