Practice tests

by greatman » Thu Jan 25, 2007 12:40 pm
I m just wondering can we arrange Practice CAT tests in order of preference or can categorise according to difficulty level...



Like which one gives more realistic feeling Manhattan, Princeton or Kaplan..

I find Kaplan more difficult than Manhattan, the quantitative section. I am not familiar with PR...I like the feedback you get with Manhattan since not only you get the questions right or wrong but also the results will tell the level of difficulty of them, for example 500-600 level type of question. I find this information very useful.

The tests that are most like the real thing are the official GMATPrep tests (of course) and Princeton Review. I believe those are the only ones that are adaptive.

I haven't taken Manhattan GMAT's tests; I heard they were actually Cambridge's tests.

Kaplan's are the least like the real thing. Read through the forum...you'll see!

We used to use Cambridge's tests - but we have our own now and they are fully adaptive. Just like the real thing!
