A few weeks, I got a 730 on a GMATPrep exam...but after reading that, I am not so confident any more

So is there really HUGE difference between the actual GMAT and the GMATPrep exams?

I haven't sit for exam but as a general opinion, any material from GMAC (Graduate Management Admission Council) or www.mba.com has very good sense of actual exam be it official guide or GMATPrep.
Make sure that you score 730 or around score several times before go for actual.

Two days pay no attention on GMAT and suddenly sit for test under actual timed and disciplined condition at home and then see you score.

See your score in MGMAT at least 2-3 times as well

See your score in GMAT focus at least 2-3 times as well


If actually in all above tets you get somewhere between 700 - 750 then just register for actual. remember you know yourself best and be honest with yourself while take these test at home

Good luck

oh okay thanks I plan on taking an manhattan gmat exam sometime soon and on a slightly older GMAT test, I received a 710.

Thanks very much!
