GMAT CAT Accuracy Ranking

by mygmat.2009 » Thu Feb 19, 2009 11:14 am
Hello,

I'm new to this forum and was hoping to kick-off my BeatTheGMAT experience by getting a feeling from existing users as to how they would rank the following GMAT prep CATs in terms of true reflection to actual GMAT scores. From what I read so far, is the following a fair ranking in terms or score accuracy?

1- GMAT Prep (+-20)
2- Princeton Review
3- Manhattan
4- Thomson Peterson's (+-60 )
5- Kaplan (+-100)

Note: Please feel free to include more Prep guides/CATs in this ranking, as I only included the ones I know off.

Personally, I got 100-120 more points on Thomson CATs than on Kaplan CD CATs. But then again, I am also aware of the Kaplan scale down of scores. I have not worked on CATs from Princeton or Manhattan yet and I was hoping this thread would help me decide which one to go after.


Thanks,
Sam
