mgmat or kaplan??

by hongwang9703 » Sun Oct 25, 2009 9:54 pm
I have been studying for the Gmat for on and off about 5 months now and I have just only recently started taking the practice exams. THe first practice exam i took was with Kaplan and it devasted me to score a 430, and the second one devasted me even further. BUt tonight i just took my first mgmat practice exam and i scored a 630 on it, which seems to me to be right because, although i didnt study deligently for the past 5 months, i made effort to study atleast 3-4 days aweek and have made about 100 flash cards!

My plan of attack to beat the gmat is to focus on practice exams from now on, atleast 2 practice exams per week, and to over the questions i got wrong.

Yeah, as you can tell, the part that worries me the most is the awa writing, because english is not my native language and i have never been quit fond of writing at all, only recently did I even start reading books. please let me know if kaplan is more accurate in determining your real gmat scoring abilities, or if Manhatan gmat is more accurate!!!

best of luck to you all because luck plays a big part for examination like this i think
i got utterly defeated by the gmat.

Manhattan GMAT is definitely accurate in scoring than kaplan. But the best score indicator is GMATPrep which is even more accurate than MGMAT. You can find several posts on these topics in this forum. Many people have had this doubt.

Go to mba.com and register yourself if you haven't done yet. There you can find Gmatprep software. It's free to download.
