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!

"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."
