Hi,
I attempted Gmat once and ended up gettting a real low score. SO I decided to give it again on 18 th of August. But the problem is every time I attempt a Kaplan test I end up getting a score of 590 and power prep I have improved a lot. But what scares me is that over a period of time familiarity of the questions might have also boosted my score up. SO i tried giving some free tests like crack-gmat and petersons and got scores lower than kaplan. I am now totally confused and want to know whether these other online tests are indeed accurate scorers? Please answer my question i would really appreciate any valueable opinion of any kind.
Cheers

I recommend the following practice tests:

- GMAT Prep (most accurate)
- Princeton Review
- Manhattan GMAT
- Kaplan

With regard to Kaplan, don't worry about your scores--they are skewed down much lower than what you can actually expect on the real GMAT. Avoid crack-gmat and petersen's since I hear these tests aren't reliable.

The most accurate indicator of your actual GMAT performance is GMATPrep--if you are scoring well here, then you may be in good shape.

Best of luck!

"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."
