Grockit CAT

by Viper83 » Wed Jan 12, 2011 10:57 am
Has anyone taken a Grockit CAT exam? What did you think about it?

I am considering signing up for Grockit's premium plan because of the CATs, I have done almost all other CAT exams (Kaplan (more difficult than real thing), Princeton (math is too easy, verbal is OK), Manhattan (Good CATs) and GMAT Prep.).

I basically need more CAT practice...

I am premium member with Grockit. Their tests are not bad. Since their practice questions are very representative of OG, I think their test questions are pretty much similar. Not sure how accurate their scoring algorithm is. I only took one test and the score was comparable to what I got in 2 MGMAT CATs.

I took only one CAT from Grockit and I have couple issues:
1. Grockit does not save the test if you do not complete. I sat down for my first test in a simulated environment, completed the Quant section and few questions into Verbal, there was a minor internet glitch and I lost the whole thing. Poof! vanished not even the quant questions I attempted were saved. I was very pissed and my whole day was gone.
2. Does not provide any analysis at the end from the data off the test. You can review the questions, but it is not similar to the statistics that they provide when you do practice problems.
