Hi,

I found out from the MGMAT website that it costs $39 to buy 6 online CAT tests, which is free with a Strategy Guide, which costs about $20. I am confused about the price difference here. Could you please clarify?

I personally want to purchase all the CAT tests and the strategy guide.

Also, I have assumed that I can buy Strategy guide anywhere in India, and register on MGMAT website with some code printed in the book to get all the 6 online CATs. Please correct me if i am wrong.

Finally, is there any limitations on the number of times that I can take these tests?

Thanks much in advance.

Hi enniguy,

The price difference is due to the fact that before recently, students could not receive automatic access to their CAT Exams upon purchasing their Strategy Guides. Hence, the immediacy of gaining CAT access for the online item was the reason for the price differential. However, now that it's not the case, we might want to look into changing the prices around.

Don't worry, though - you'll still gain access to our 6 CAT exams with the purchase of any or all our Strategy Guides.

You can certainly buy our books in India and activate them later using a code found in the inside back cover of the book. Here are two booksellers authorized to sell our Strategy Guides in India:

Finally, you can take our tests up to any number of times. Remember, though, we only have enough questions in our Question Pool for 6 CAT exams. Hence, if you were to retake the tests, you would see some of the same questions, which would cause your overall score to become less accurate and overinflated.

Let me know if you need anything else. Good luck studying!

Best,

"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."
