Hi, Just wanted to know how realistic the free Platinum GMAT test is. Planning on taking it sometime next week. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Hi guys, I am currently using a combination of the OG Quant and Verbal, McGraw Hill Verbal, McGraw Hill Math, and the new McGraw Hill 2010 (with a DVD with four tests). I will let you know my views as I progress. I don't know what to say right now, as I originally only used the two McGraw Hill books (GMATPrep 1 710, Q45 V41 I think, GMATPrep 2 710 Q41 V46 or 47, official GMAT 1 630!!!) - I thought they had prepared me well with 3 weeks of practice, but clearly I blanked on test day. New strategy will be more comprehensive...

Question for everyone:
are all diagnostics from the commercially-oriented providers meant to be harsh on scoring in order to goad you into purchasing their prep services?

I never really noticed that. Sometimes they are really off and we even have a gmat score Estimator/calculator. Gmat prep is best in establishing your level. Posted from my mobile device

I'll definitely be using a lot more. I just got the jitters because I tested consistently on GMATPrep (statistically encouraging) and then TANKED on test day.

Hi Guys, can anyone comment on number 17 in the above list Platinum GMAT. I just took their test with any prior studying and scored a 650-660. The test does not seem to be adaptive, yet includes many questions they rank as 650-800level questions. What are your thoughts on how well this test mimics the 'real' one?

One real valuable thread!
Although I'm sure most blokes wait to gain the mojo by aiming on 2-3 in the long list
Kudos!

glad to have seen someone else get a lower score with Knewton. Their test seemed alternatively way too easy and not adaptive. Their trial class format however is awesome in my opinion--particularly compared to the other I just did which was Princeton Review (such a bad interface with no control, I just quit halfway through). Suspect I'll pay for Knewton though I had planned to just self-study.

This is the end of GMAT season, so I suspect they'll have another one in a few weeks.
