I wouldn't do it unless you have an official GMAT score. Many on this board complain about the way Knewton scores their diagnostic CAT, so if you are banking on that 50 point guarantee, take the real gmat first and then take their course. Osirus, I actually feel Knewton diagnostic test is not that ...

Well may be you've improved your quants. That might be the reason that you find Manhattan questions easier now. I concur with your comment on RC's. I too find RC's very different from that of GMATPrep. I've never scored good in Manhattan RC's - always getting less than 50% correct. Thanks for your ...

Agree with the post above. Entirely depends on what your weak areas are. BTW MGMAT SC is the best SC guide out there. It's really good to practice as it lists OG question by topic area. After you finish a chapter (i.e. topic area) you can practice by doing OG question on that topic area. I highly re...

Hello All, I practiced all of the RC passages from the 700-800 RC series. Recently I took MGMT CAT tests 1 and 2, and I found that all the RCs (in both the tests) were from 700-800 RC document. Does anyone else has faced this issue? Is 700-800 document a compilation of all MGMAT CAT test questions?...

You ONLY say "dated at ...."
On that same note, you don't say "estimated at" for time period, but rather "estimated to be".
