i have actually taken all the 6 MGMAT exams towards the last three my score was in the 650-680 range.I have two more weeks before the exams.Is it worth taking MGMAT exams again.(From what i understood they repeat some questions but not all.) or should i do some other prep exams.if something else which one is the best ? any thoughts will be highly appreciated.
I have taken both the Kaplan and the official practice tests. Kaplan always seems to give me a lower score. The question asked is which tests are the best practice tests not the most accurate.
Kaplan tests are more challenging, if I can complete the Kaplan tests and do well then Im confident ill do well on the actual GMAT.

I voted for MGMAT, but I really think the quality of their tests begin to deteriorate after the first 3. But their scoring seems most consistent with GMAT Prep. It's a bit more challenging, in my opinion, but I think that's a good thing.
I also want to suggest Platinum GMAT. It's a free test that doesn't require registration and, I think, is of very high quality. The verbal section is probably as hard as is MGMAT's math section, but their math section is closer to reality.

Manhattan GMAT is definitely a great option. It gives you questions that challenges your ability to manage time well because of the length of many questions in the verbal section. Also, it provides explanations thoroughly. However, GMATPrep is great too except it does not provide the actual explanations. But, its better to try to figure it out yourself instead of looking straight for an explanation after you get the question wrong. Kaplan likes to repeat itself and that's the down fall. Their explanation is also great, but some of the questions that you have when you sign up for the KAPTEST online are repetitive.

I completely agree with you. Princeton review is best for Verbal practice, on contrary, ManahattanGMAT has a great collection of quant questions in thier practice tests. To be more specific about Princeton review, its RC questions are great for practice where MGMAT is good for SC and quant.eliazashin wrote:Hey Folks, I'll definitely seem a bit biased here as I'm a Trainer/Instructor for The Princeton Review, but I do believe that TPR's FREE online GMAT practice test is a good way to get started. Goto:
demo.princetonreview.com (you have to create a user account to take the test, but otherwise there are no strings attached). Select GMAT from the pulldown menu and you'll be able to navigate the test.
I'm not comparing TPR's free GMAT to any other company's tests, but, again, just recommending it as a starting point. After which there's plenty more to do--keep at it, and if you have any questions/comments, let me know!

I have taken the Veritas Prep test and scored 590. 43 in Quants and 28 in Verbal. I felt Verbal was bit more difficult than GMATPrep's verbal.namita09 wrote:Has anyone tried Veritas Prep Tests?

Just wondering is there any consnsus on the best practice tests? I have completed all the Manhattan GMAT tests and all the free ones I could find on the web (except the Princeton Review which kept asking for payment for it's 'free' test!). Would Kaplan be the next best option? Many thanks!
