Hello moderators and visitors:

I am taking the GMAT for a second time on Oct. 4th, and thus, have purchased the set of six Manhattan GMAT practice tests. However, it seems to me that the Quantitative questions are much more complex and time-consuming than GMAC material. Is this generally the case? Has anybody else noticed this?

I have taken the free practice test and two CAT's so far, and the scoring reports generated suggest that I'm performing well on 300-500, 500-600, and 600-700 level Problem Solving questions, but I am doing abysmally on the 700-800 level questions. Any advice on the best (and fastest) way to improve my scoring in this area?

I'm running out of time...please help.

Based on my personal experience- MGMAT quant is difficult compared to the actual exam, antithetically their verbal is lot easier.
Wish you good luck

I agree that the MGMAT Q is more difficult than GMATPrep, but on the other hand I have found MGMAT's V to be almost at par with GMATPrep's V (though a tad easier ). I understand everyone might have a different view point, but would like to poll others on this forum to see what they think?
