All tests are good. The purpose of the test is not your score - the purpose is time management, build stamina to sit for 4 hrs test and to pin point your weakness. The marking system generally varies from prep company to prep company.

For best predication of your score - use GMAT prep.

Hope this helps !!

As you know I have taken the real gmat test twice, the score is 380-410...

I have done all the cat free tests in the web we can find, I mean all...

Prep1-2 I have several times, even though the first score is very low but I have taken repeatedly to 760 in prep2...

Manhanten test I have done 530, this something I am proud of, now I have tried other paper material but it doesn't evaluate my true ability, I have to find something new free test.. Like PR, or something else..., by the way, does PR have free cat test?

Yes !! MGMAT CAT are good one. Buy any MGMAT strategy guides and you will get 6 along with it. But have you analyzed your test - I did some mistake during my initial stage of my preparation by not analyzing test properly. Please refer this the articles link given in this post :

I think PR do have a free cat in their site but I am not quiet sure.

Hi tracyyahoo,

There are various ways you can use to practise for your GMAT. These are all good depending
upon which medium you prefer books or online or even both. You might need to change your
practise style and try this combination to provide you flexibility and different styles to practise so
it doesn't get monotonous.

It could be combination of-

1-Books- Books like- The Official Guide for GMAT Review, The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal
Review, The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review etc could be used.

2-Online Study Guide: Websites like Knewton, Grockit etc provide you with practise questions
online.

3-Smart phone applications- Kaplan, Veritas etc offer applications to prepare for GMAT on your
smart phones

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."
