Kaplan Tests?

by [email protected] » Fri Aug 05, 2011 12:47 am
Hi Team,

How can I get Kaplan Prep Tests? Can I get these with any Kaplan Book purchase or is there a way I can buy these tests online? Like Manhattan offers 6 Tests with purchase of any book & additional 5 tests are also available for $20.

Best regards,
Sandeep Jain

Hi Sandeep,

Kaplan's GMAT premier include 6 full-length CATs. Kaplan's online and on-site classes come with 9 completely different tests.

Hope this helps!

Hi Eli,

Thanks for the information!

Also, please let me know if these 6 Tests are also different from each other & how close they are with actual GMAT.

I am scheduled to take GMAT on Nov 8, 2011. Please suggest whether I should go for Kaplan's GMAT Premier 2011 or the 2012 edition.

Best regards,
Sandeep Jain

All of our tests are as close to the real thing as we can make them, although the 9 CATS associated with our courses have been revised for accuracy more recently than the 6 unique tests connected with the Premier book.

As for 2011 or 2012, it shouldn't make too much of a difference. The primary change between editions was a section with the most up-to-date knowledge we had about the upcoming changes to the GMAT test structure, but as those won't take effect until summer 2012, you shouldn't be affected.

Let me know if you have other questions!

Not "better," but it will work just as well. Buy what's available!

If you are preparing for this years exam, it doesn't particularly matter. 2012 contains a couple of minor typo-fixes, but the primary difference between 2012 and 2011 is the inclusion of information on the integrated reasoning section. This information does NOT replace anything or remove anything; it's just extra page count. So if you're planning a 2012 test, get the 2012 version, but if you're planning to take the test this year, 2011 and 2012 are basically interchangeable.
