Hello,

I am finding the Kaplans Quant questions much more difficult that the OG. Where should I focus my study? (only 2 weeks until test day).

Hello!
In the last couple of weeks a fair amount of your time should be spent on reviewing the material that you've already done (assuming that you've already done a enough work that it will take a couple weeks to review). Based on empirical evidence (student's results) the most accurate practice tests are those from MBA.com's website the "GMATPREP" software. You should at a minimum do both of these tests.

Cheers!

Hello trishna26,

I have also found the these practice CATs (Kaplan and MGMAT) tougher than the actual. To get a feel of where you stand you should try out GMAT Prep (from MBA.com). They are the closest to the real thing compared to any practice CAT.

I saved my Prep CATs for the end. I'd suggest that you try analyse your tests and figure out where you are going wrong. Try to see how you can improve on these areas. Take the Prep CATs a week before your test and don forget to analyse them thoroughly.

One more piece of advice - when you take these CATs do not skip the AWA essays. They help you prepare for AWA and also help you with the stamina part.

"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."
