I've been preparing for the GMAT for the past 4 months.. Took the gmat prep test 1 in the beginning.. Got 650 .. Then started my preparation.. My subsequent scores are as follows:
Gmat prep 1: 710
Kaplan CAT 1 : 710
Gmat prep 2 : 680 (should have given this in the end)
Kaplan CAT 2 : 720
Grockit CAT : 710

I have 3 kaplan tests remaining, along with 1 each of manhattan, veritas and princeton..
I want to schedule my gmat within the next 15 days.. But i'm not so sure about the reliability of kaplan scores.. I feel they are a bit exaggerated.
Kindly provide valuable suggestions..
Regards
Arihant Vijay

Hi arihant vijay,

As long as you've been taking the ENTIRE CAT each time, then you have a set of scores that is great and at a level that would make just about every Business School happy.

Assuming these CATs were taken in a realistic fashion, then you're ready to go. Why are you thinking about waiting 15 days?

"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."
