So after 5 paper tests from varying prep-book publishers, I finally took my first CAT version. Selecting Manhattan GMAT's free test, I was nervous my score wouldn't reflect the numbers I had been achieving on the paper exams (650-720).

Good news though!

Ended up with a 680, with the following break down:

39 Q
43 V

I feel good, especially since this was my first try.

But how does it line up with the real GMAT? Am I in good shape?


I plan on taking a few more, and will be reviewing every day until my test (September 24!)[/u]

I think the general consensus is that it undercuts your true total score by about 30-40 points because the quant section is particularly difficult. I've also found that some of the critical reasoning and reading comprehension questions are more ambiguous than GMAT Prep, which could hurt the verbal side.

I agree.. for a couple of their CR questions in my last practice test, I couldn't find any answer to be good enough.. hopefully I don't feel that way on the actual test. :)

Quant for sure is difficult, more calculation based.. I give myself an extra 5 minutes for the Quant section, so I am at least able to finish the section.
Being defeated is often only a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
