Finished up the Quant section of the MGMAT CAT and a good portion of the questions on there were significantly harder than any problems I came across in any of the OG books. With that being said, and noting that others have had the same experience, how should I best gage myself against the MGMAT versus the OG 11 or the OG Quant ?

I've taken multiple MGMAT tests and feel exactly the same way.

agreed. I haven't taken the actual test yet but I'm finding the MGMAT quant much harder than everything else. maybe b/c they are the 'no short cuts' school of thought where they want you to have a thorough understanding of each topic... enough to solve each questions straight.

Have you seen any comparisons regarding their scoring model for quant? I scored a 44 yesterday, wondering if that's accurate, high or low.

I took all 6 MGMAT cat tests and scored between 41-46 in the Q part. In the real GMAT I got a 43, so it's pretty much accurate! The verbal part, in the other hand, seems harder. Used to get 34-36 but got a 40 in the real one and a 42 in the GMATPrep two days before.
thanks!!

"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."
