I have Manhattan, Princeton, Kaplan and GMAC's CATs (I've done each of CATS twice now).

I would recommend MGMAT or PR--but you probably don't need to take more than one practice test a week before your test.

Good luck, you're almost there!

Thank you Eric. So you're saying I shouldn't do 3 tests (as I have planned) this week? I'm pounding the OG, and creating a flashcard for every problem I got wrong; in your opinion, is the a danger of overstudying or something like that?

Thank you again.

I think you need to start relaxing your mind a little bit in your final week. Yeah, 3 tests seems like overkill.

You've done your prep, so no need to burn yourself out right before the test!
