I'd say that 4-5 weeks before the GMAT should be a good starting point for taking full length tests.3 weeks maybe a little on the tighter side. I've taken 4 CATs so far and planning to take 6 more in the last 2 weeks. Should this be sufficient? I m spending a great time in analyzing the tests and s...

I saw one of my friends just went crazy taking tests but would spend hardly 10 minutes in analyzing it. You must make sure that you spend enough time Spot on advice.. Analyzing your mistakes and then...

I was able to solve 85% of questions correctly in Official Guide & 70% in Manhattan Quant guides. But when i gave first Manhattan CAT i was confident in just 4-5 questions, on the rest of the questions i was struggling. I found quant questions in CAT to be very, very hard. Should i go for Manha...

610->660->750- Third time's the charm
Got done with the GMAT finally and happy that I won’t have to take it again. Mine is a long journey spreading over more than a year. March 2014: Took the GMAT with only a month of preparation. I thought that I did decent on the exam but was shocked to see only a 610. I think I was not fully prepar...

True that. The scoring and the type of questions is bad in Kaplan CD companion I'd recommend people to buy the additional tests that GMAC has released. GMAT tests are the closest that you can get to the real GMAT. Worth the money Yeah, they are pretty good but when should one starting using all the...

I think that taking a test every alternate day should be good. I'm planning to take 10 tests in all over a period of 25 days How long do you spend on the analysis of a test ? And do you do it the very day you take a test on ? Though I'm not the right person to answer this as I have not taken the GM...
