It is said that they are close to the actual GMAT ones.
The GMAT is indeed adaptable. Whenever I answer RC, it proficiently 'adapts' itself to mark my 'right' answer 'wrong'.

I might say that Manhattan GMAT questions are a tiny bit tougher than actual GMAT questions, but if so, not by much.
This could depend on a variety of factors (ie. your comfort levels with certain topics, etc), so it sort of depends on your situation. I might add that my overall Manhattan GMAT scores were slightly lower than actual GMAT score, so this might be a signal that the questions are harder? They are great practice, regardless. Good luck!!

Thanks every one.
That's good to know. I will use MGMT test scores to analyze my performance and determine my readiness to go face to face with GMAT.

MGMAT Quant is a bit tougher than the actual stuff. For my GMAT Quants preparation all i did are the MGMAT CATs and scored a 51 in quants.

Hey mjsobo,
I wanted to ask that what is more closest to the GMAT level:-The Kaplan Workbook or the The Manhattan Guide??
Also after the OG 12th edition what would you refer for practice:-The Quantitative Review or The MGMAT guides ??
Personally I have gone through only word translations.

Thanks in advance.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.
