GMAt focus/ MGAT/ Kaplan practice tests - comparisons

by freebarbeque » Fri Aug 27, 2010 2:45 am
Hi,

I have bought the GMAT focus tests from the GMAT website. How do these compare to the manhattan gmat and kaplan. I just did a mgmat test and scored a 580, my target is 680 and taking the test in 12 days. I have about 6 more practice tests from GMAT.com, one gmat prep, 4 more kaplan and mgmat tests left to practice and i have taken annual leave from work to do all of these.

I also bought all 8 mgmat books which i have gone through now and am just kicking off all the practice ones. I have the OG12 too which i will be using along side these practice tests.

Has anyone a comparison on them? I have read boards that say MGmat is the toughest.

Any thoughts would help.

Cheers

GMAT Focus comes from the official test makers whereas Manhattan GMAT/Kaplan are not. MGMAT guides are really good for their strategies and practice tests. Their quants are way too tougher than actual GMAT but they train you really hard to face any kind of question in GMAT.

Bottomline is - Stick to official guides (OG12, GMAT Focus, GMAT Prep) as much as possible and supplement your strategies and extra practice with MGMAT/Kaplan.

I hope this answers your query.
