Hi, I have a question regarding on which CAT's to buy, the options are:

1) MGMAT: 6 CATs
2) Veritas: 6 CATs

I am buying for sure the GMATPrep Exam Pack 1 for the 2 additional tests, however I would like to train with some other CATs. Currently I am limiting myself only to the Free CATs. I am aware that some people consider the MGMAT more difficult in the Quant section since the math operations are more complex and you need to spend more time, however I do not want to spend my time in a non-realistic CAT. I am also aware that some people consider the Veritas CATs too easy.

Could you please give me some other information, thanks in advance,
Fernando

I am not sure that "People consider the Veritas CAT too easy." Some people have said that they think that the score they received was higher than expected (although others said it was lower and most seem to believe it is pretty close). However, a higher than expected score does not mean that they thought the questions were easy. Even those people who earned a great score of the Veritas CAT almost universally found the questions quite challenging!

Anyway,
Why not try a free CAT from each and see what you think?

The free Veritas CAT is at https://www.veritasprep.com/gmat/free-gm ... tice-test/

Although since you said "six CATs" I think that you have already tried the first Veritas exam. If so, what did you think?

Thank you both for the answers. Yes David, I just took the Veritas Free CAT on Saturday (2014/09/20) and I performed very well. In my previous CAT I got 540 (which I presented on 2014/09/13 GMATPrep Free CAT 1), however here I got 660, sure my approach to this CAT was a bit different and during the week I studied my weakest topics, so that is why I am a bit curious.

I just saw your post giving a detaiiled insight on the imskpwr CAT (https://www.beatthegmat.com/valid-invali ... 76934.html), I know this is additional work for you but if you could help me understand It would be really helpful (as everybody else, I'm aiming at 700).

Thanks in advance,
Fernando

"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."
