is OG and MGMAT enough?

by abcdefg » Sat Jul 18, 2009 1:44 pm
Will have done all the sample questions in OG, GMAT Prep and 6 MGMAT exams. Just wondering if this will be enough such that when it comes to the real thing, I won't be "surprised" by things out of left field.

Anyone got any horror stores of showing up to find out that nothing you studied were tested?

For me those were enough. I also did the 4 Kaplan tests but I don't think Kaplan contributed anything to my knowledge. It's also good to take the other free exams that you can find online (Vertitas, PR, etc) if you have time but GMATPrep and MGMAT are the two that helped ME the most and they came pretty close to the real exam's experience for me.

I have taken 2 Kaplans and 1 GMATprep so far. I have enrolled for free MGMAT test. My plan is to take additionally (1 MGMAT, 2 Kaplans and GMATprep). Would you suggest me to take MGMAT instead of 2 Kaplans.
My test date is on August 8th.

If so, which book do I need to buy to get the MGMAT online tests? I am considering buying something on verbal from MGMAT as Verbal has been my grey area.

I believe any of their books will do. As far as I know every book comes with a code that gives you access to 6 online exams. If it's Kaplan vs. MGMAT, definitely go with MGMAT.
