Hi All..My GMAT is on 30 Jan..I took Kaplan free test today and here is what i got.

Overall 620
Quant 42
Verbal 34

I'm really disappointed with this score...Is Kaplan an accurate representation of what we get in actual GMAT???

Appreciate any advice on this..

Wow, up to 120 points?! I'd always heard 50-100 but how can a test even be worthwhile if it's that far off? Stick with GMATPrep!!

Don't be discouraged by the score you got on the Kaplan exam. Really, you shouldn't be using any exam as a prognosis; you should try to use practice exams as indicators of your strengths and weaknesses. Besides, all exams--the GMAT included--have relatively large margins of error, so your performance will likely vary from test to test.
Give the GMATPrep exams a try, and continue using the Kaplan exams to hone in on particularly difficult material.
Best of luck!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
