These practice tests are actually pretty good. When I prepped for the GMAT, I felt like my scores in Princeton Review closely reflected my actual GMAT score. Also, I thought that PR imitated GMAT questions fairly well (of course nothing beats OG or GMAT Prep!).

Bottom line--I think the PR books will provide you good material for additional practice.

Best of luck! You are almost there!

You might want to get the Kpaln book w/ CD as well. If you need to take a LOT of tests, consider: www.800score.com.

Kaplan's tests are probably too tough, while 800score's aree too easy.

Keep working hard.

In my experience the PR tests are very close to the real thing.

Kaplan is good for practice for tough questions, but PLEASE ignore the scores. They'll freak you out.

Well said, delfosse. I thought the exact same thing when I was preparing for the GMAT!

"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."
