Hello everybody, so I'm going for my third and last try on December and I'm running out of GMAT Cats to practice. The second time I took the GMAT my pacing was horrible; I only did 2 practice tests and I don't believe that was enough. This time I'm trying to take a lot of practice tests and trying to do the hardest ones I can find.

So far this is what I have used:

Manhattan Gmat tests: These tests are tough and perfect for what I was looking for. Did all 6 and ranged from 650 to 720 on the last one.

Free Kaplan Gmat Cat: Absolutely not a good sample, finished with 12 minutes to spare on each section and got a 680. Also, the level of the questions wasn't that hard, saw some old questions from OG 11 just rephrased.

Free Princeton Review Gmat Cat: Wow, this one wasn't only easy, but the way they grade it is riciculous. On Quant I only got 7 wrong and on Verbal I only got 8 wrong. Also, the ones I got wrong were very much spaced out, I would go on some intervals of 10 questions were I got them all right. Guess what I got: 570!! (I know). This was surprising since the questions they have in their books are actually tough and good, but I didn't see those type of questions on their free tests.

So I plan on using the MBA.com free tests the week before my test, but in the meantime, could somebody recommend some good tough Gmat tests? If I have to pay for them that is ok, just want help in finding the good ones.

Thanks to everybody in advance for your help!!

I seem to remember a package from GMAC with prep tests downloadable for under $50. It's been awhile, but check with the official GMAC site.

Thank you Bryant! I was actually thinking of buying those, even though I'm not quite sure what they are, but I've heard they are a good way to gauge your level.

Update on this post: I just took the Free Knewton Gmat test. It was a good test, the level of the questions, both verbal and quant was pretty good. The scoring seemed fair too. I got a 670. Also, the explanations were very detailed and they had a section where they did a little lesson about what each question was testing, they even had a video lesson about it. Not bad Knewton.
