Computer Adaptive just makes the questions harder if you get a question right, whereas the nonadaptive tests you on one level of difficulty (i think at least).

Nonetheless, I love the manhattan online exams. Very well written out and great explanations

The non-adaptive ones aren't good indicators of score because (as the name implies) they're just a set series of questions for everyone. We still have them in there just so people have more questions to practice, but the adaptive ones are the best ones to do, both for the experience and the score. I tell my students not even to take the non-adaptive ones as "tests" but just to use them for extra practice if they want more questions.

"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."
