GMAT Strategy

I have very similar results too.

As I posted earlier , I got a 680 on Kaplan CAT 2 without even finishing the it on time.

Then I took three more Kaplan [CAT 3, CAT 4 and CAT5] with scores: 710,710 and 750 (the last one had a 5-6 repeat questions).

Then I took Veritas today and scored: 700 (Q49,V37) , with a pathetic CR accuracy of 23%

Next I am taking the Princeton CAT, lets see how it goes.

Thanx for sharing your results injotb123. I decided not to rely on scores and rather focus on accuracy. Probably MGMAT scores are the closest to actual GMAT after GMATPrep.

Manhattan is famous for its TOUGHEST QUANT.
I am not that bad in quant. But manhattan quant is too tough to handle at high levels. The level of question increases continuously. In my last cat, after having a good accuracy till the middle of the exam, the level of last 10 questions was too tough to handle that i got 8 out of 10 questions wrong and that too last 8 questions(in a series).

SC is the easiest and definitely not up to GMAT level.
CR is definitely better than GMAT.
RC is quite similar to GMAT.

So your verbal score will be quite similar to what you can get in actua GMAT but Quant score will be way too less. But recently GMAT has changed its quant scoring in which 51 now corresponds to 97%le and not 99%le.
So maybe in new gmat, manhattan quant's score will be similar to gmat's.

KAPLAN is famous for its toughest RCs.
SC and CR ars definitely similar to GMAT.
But RC is on a very extreme side.
