I have been reading the site and forums for the past few months as I have prepared for the GMAT. I have really enjoyed learning and sharing in both the success stories and frustration.
Anyway, I'll get to the question. So far, I have taken the following exams in the order I have taken them:
GMATPrep CAT 1: 660 (Q 40, V 41)
Kaplan CAT 3: 680 (Q 49, V 33)
Overall, I was shocked at the score deltas. Throughout my prep, I felt as if Verbal was my strength, as indicated in the first test and my subsequent prep of hard questions from the OG. However, I have read that Kaplan CATs are a little easier in math and more difficult in Verbal which could explain the difference.
As my test date draws near, I want to determine which CAT Tests would be best to take given my circumstances. I have the opportunity to take 2 full length practice tests before the exam. So, what CAT exams from the list below would be most beneficial to take and review prior to my test?
GMATPrep CAT I (Re-Take)
GMATPrep CAT II
MGMAT Free CAT
One of the other Kaplan CATs
(Note: I would like to be in the 680-720 range at the end of the day. I am applying for FT FY12 so I am trying to get ahead. Any advice would be helpful.)
