Hi,

I need help in deciding the following:
I gave 3 mock tests from Manhattan and got 600, 640 and 650 respectively. Do you think Manhattan tests are representative of the real GMAT. [I know that none can be really close but just for Bench-marking what should I do?]

MGCAT#1: Q: 43 V: 31: 600
MGCAT#2: Q41, V: 36: 640
MGCAT#3: Q44, V: 35: 650

I have test on 10th Jan, Is it advisable to cancel it at this Juncture when I am getting 650? may be I should not think if cancelling but focusing on the shortcomings? Any experienced one?

Thanks in Advance.

Regards
Gunjan

The jump from your practice scores to 720 is fairly sizeable for 1 week. However, the tests you have taken can score a bit low for some people...

Have you taken the GMATPrep official practice test? That would give you the best indication.

Do you need to take the test on Jan. 10th for some particular reason? If not you might want to think of postponing it.

You say that maybe you should keep the appointment and work on your weaknesses, have you not been doing that already? If you have been studying for some months another week may not make a huge difference.

Remember that you need to reschedule a full 7 days before the test date if you don't want to lose the entire test fee. So you will need to decide soon.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
