Kaplan verbal unreprsentative?

by fltingley » Wed May 27, 2009 1:23 pm
I've been consistently scoring in the mid to high 40s on my Kaplan CATs, but when I both practice MGMATs I scored low to mid 30s. Does anyone know what's going on there? Does Kaplan just have another "style" of verbal than the actual GMAT?

This is a little concerning because I thought I've been blowing away my verbal, and now I have only a week and a half to "unlearn" and "relearn" the right way...

Kaplan is great for students aiming for 500-650. But students trying to score higher should use a different source of prep. The challenge archive of Manhattan GMAT has some tough questions.

Kaplan's quant prep is tough and really thorough, but the lack of correlation to the MGMAT verbal has me worried. Off to the OGMAT book, I guess!
