Hello,

So I've been taking Kaplan, Princeton Review and McGraw Hill practice CAT's and my highest scores are from McGraw Hill- I started out with a 540 and now I have taken at least 3 with a score of 620.

Kaplan CAT - 510

PR - Highest was 590

GmatPrep - 570

McGraw Hill - 620

Has anyone else used McGraw Hill? I don't use the book to study but I like their CATs better because they are closer to my GMATprep scores of 570 and since they are not internet based like PR CATs I usually don't have connectivity problems while taking them. I'm curious how everyone else's scores compare since I read little about McGraw Hill on the GMAT forums..[/i]

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm going to this week, although from what I've read on the forums the math questions on the MG are much harder than the real GMAT, so I'm looking for the practice CAT that has the material that most closely resembles that of the real GMAT.

Ive taken all the PR and Gmatprep exams so I have exhausted all the ones that seem to give me constant scores.

My test is on 4/23 and I just want to get a score over 600, I don't want to waste time practicing questions that I may not even see on the real GMAT because the difficulty level is higher than my range of 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."
