Manhattan CAT Tests

by er_priyankajolly » Mon Jul 05, 2010 4:23 am
Can anyone tell me about Manhattan CAT tests?
Is their difficulty level same as the actual GMAT Exam.

I gave the first Manhattan CAT test and it wasn't good. I scored 550.
I found Maths very tough and was wasnt even able to complete my maths section.I couldnt attend the last 9-10 questions.
I have practiced Maths from OG,Kaplan,Princeton but the questions in these books were no as tough as i found in this Exam.So if anyone has attempted these test then please guide me.

I am targetting 700+ on GMAT so let me know how much do i need to score on these test so that i am assured of my success?

the Manhattan GMAT scores are pretty accurate... most similar to GMATPrep...
what i figure out is...GMATPrep is +/- 30 points and Manhattan is +/-50 points.

you need to travel a long way to reach 700+.

yes Manhattan's math is pretty tough.. a notch above what is there in actual GMAT
where as the verbal is maybe a notch below the actual GMAT (especially in 700+ range of scores...)

if you could have given the break up of the individual sections it would have been great...
nonetheless... you must answer a question to yourself, you did not do well in the math section,
because your pacing/timing was not right or you got many answers wrong because you were not clear with the concepts ?

International students, especially indian students can range around 48-50 in Q because of stronger basics....
so it should not bother you..work on the verbal part, thats what makes or breaks on the test day...
