Can someone comment on the differences between these two? I understand that it may not be an issue of hard versus easy, but maybe more so an issue of differences in wording and structure. I've been taking the MGMAT Cat's and plan to take a GMATprep once before actual test day. I'm hoping to not have a rude awakening regarding verbal.

Let me know your thoughts.

I've taken 3 MGMAT CATs so far and what i felt about them is their verbal is a bit off from real GMAT. I'm especially not happy with their CR's. I find it little different than how GMAT tests you. However, RC's and SC's look fine to me.

GMAT Score:710

I took 6 of the MGMAT test and the highest verbal score I got was a 36. On my two GMAT attempts I got a 41 and 39 respectively on the verbal. I didn't agree with some of the questions on MGMAT's verbal. Specifically, I didn't agree with a lot of the RC questions and some of the CR questions.

I had the exact same question. On the MGMAT practice tests, I've never scored over a 36 which is very low compared to the Official GMAT Prep tests where i'm scoring 41-42.

Which one would be more indicative of my actual GMAT performance?

dmateer, Your words are quite encouraging to me. My highest score is 35 in verbal so far and I was worrying over my performance. Now i find that this is a common opinion about Manhattan GMAT verbal.
