Ted,
I took MGMAT 1,2,3,4
scores were 420, 680,680,680
Q 99% percentile and V is 68% percentile
I need to improve on verbal/Cr as well as give more CAT.
Could you point me to effective techniques as well as to more sources to CAT as close simulations to GMAT.

Sources for other CATs:
Official GMAT Prep
Kaplan
Knewton (though the test is new and there have been some comments about inaccuracy in the score)
Princeton Review
Veritas

There are others, but this is a nice start. Good luck!

I definitely agree on GMATPrep (as a good source for CATs). I haven't taken the other ones listed above, so I can't comment on those. You may want to check out this thread where people have been discussing various CATs: https://www.beatthegmat.com/best-practic ... t1327.html

What have you been using so far to prepare for the verbal? (Not just for practice problems, but to actually learn what you need to learn for the verbal section?)

If you haven't been using any books to learn the grammar rules or the techniques for the different kinds of verbal questions, then you'll need to get something. Obviously, I like the books my company produces, but I'm biased.

You may want to ask around and see what sources other students have used and like.

If you have been using certain books, let us know what you have been using and what has been working well vs. what has not been working well.

Please note: I do not use the Private Messaging system! I will not see any PMs that you send to me!!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
