The right time for CATs

Loyola wrote:Hi

Let me get to the point straightly. I've just finished studying all 8 MGMAT guides, along with OG 12th questions. All that are left include 6 MGMAT CATs, MGMAT Challenge Problems and 2 Official Prep CATs.
What's the best approach here? Should I take a CAT every day? In what order should I take em?

Thanks

The best plan is the one that helps you improve the most!

The CATs help you gauge your level -- you can find your strengths and weaknesses. It's not really how many CAT exams you take -- its more about what your learn from taking the CATs -- how you fine tune and refine your strategies, how you manage your time, how you go from doing one SC question to a CR question to an RC passage in a short amount of time. The CATs also help you build stamina for your test day. Make sure you take the two GMAT prep tests -- they are the best questions you can get your hands on. MGMAT CATs are pretty solid too -- but they are not the real thing -- but they are certainly worth spending your time on.

Thank you for the reply. There's one more thing. Do you have any experience with MGMAT question banks and Challenge Problems set?

Most of MGMAT's materials are excellent. The online question banks that come with the books are very good practice. I am not too familiar with the challenge problem set -- there are a few challenge sets out there -- one of them is Jeff Sackmann's extreme Math challenge.
