Can anyone tell me about Manhattan CAT tests?
Is their difficulty level same as the actual GMAT Exam.

I gave the first Manhattan CAT test and it wasn't good. I scored 550.
I found Maths very tough and was wasnt even able to complete my maths section.I couldnt attend the last 9-10 questions.
I have practiced Maths from OG,Kaplan,Princeton but the questions in these books were no as tough as i found in this Exam.So if anyone has attempted these test then please guide me.

I am targetting 700+ on GMAT so let me know how much do i need to score on these test so that i am assured of my success?

the Manhattan GMAT scores are pretty accurate... most similar to GMATPrep...
what i figure out is...GMATPrep is +/- 30 points and Manhattan is +/-50 points.

you need to travel a long way to reach 700+.

yes Manhattan's math is pretty tough.. a notch above what is there in actual GMAT
where as the verbal is maybe a notch below the actual GMAT (especially in 700+ range of scores...)

if you could have given the break up of the individual sections it would have been great...
nonetheless... you must answer a question to yourself, you did not do well in the math section,
because your pacing/timing was not right or you got many answers wrong because you were not clear with the concepts ?

International students, especially indian students can range around 48-50 in Q because of stronger basics....
so it should not bother you..work on the verbal part, thats what makes or breaks on the test day...

"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."
