From my experience (and I have yet to take the real GMAT), the best tests are the GMAT Prep (official exams available from mba.com) and Manhattan GMAT tests. MGMAT quant tends to be harder than GMAT Prep.

I'm pretty skeptical of Kaplan tests. Scoring sometimes seems very strange and question quality isn't that high,

Hope that helps,

Thanks a lot David....

Can you please tell....

Are giving total 8 tests(6 Manhattan and 2 GPrep) are good enough for having a good feel of real GMAT exam....or do we need to practice more ?

Also kindly tell are MGMAT tests good indicator of your marks in actual GMAT ?

The most effective way to study for the GMAT is to take diagnostic test, then evaluate your strengths and weaknesses.

You want to be sure you know WHY you got something correct, WHY you got something wrong, and have a plan in place on how to fortify what you need to learn.

The GMAC has 4 CAT tests you can take and several paper tests. By far these are the most accurate, and best tests you can use to get yourself up to speed.

Using the OGs, (11, 12 and the purple and green books) are a great start, but usually not enough.

Good Luck!

I am not an expert but in my own experience MGMAT and GMATPrep come closer to the real score than any other test. Start with those and if you have time left take other practice exams. 40 days is plenty of time

"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."
