All GMAT CAT Practice Tests - links, prices, reviews

Thank you I have added The Economist GMAT Tutor to the list!

Just gave an MGMAT CAT (my first) and shocked to see the result. 650 with quant 45 and verbal 33. Got 710 in GMAT prep with verbal 40. May be because of the format of the questions or something else I don't know but one thing is pretty clear. MGMAT instructors deliberately add in details to questions which make no proper sense just to complicate the question. Quant is definitely not an indicator but if you can do well on these tests, it's a good sign.

How about the GMAT Club tests , where would they lie among these 5 ?

Thank you

I would just like to comment that The Economist GMAT CAT practice test did not have an AWA or IR section.

The GMAT Club tests focus primarily on the Quant, so I would (in a biased manner) say that the quant is great and verbal.... well, let's just say the quant is great

Hi,

I have a question about GMAT Club Tests. If I purchase 3-months subscription, how many complete CAT can I take? You said up to 20 (14 quant and 6 verbal), but how it is possible? If up to 20 CAT is available, then why there is just 6 verbal? I thought that by CAT you mean a full GMAT mock test which starts with essay and IR and went through Quant and Verbal and takes about 4 hours to complete. Does GMAT Club 3-month subscription provide 20 complete GMAT test as I explained? Am I wrong? GMAT Club tests are like this or they are 14 separate computer adaptive quant tests with 37 questions and 6 separate computer adaptive verbal tests with 41 questions each?

About quizzes, how many different and discrete quizzes can I take and see fresh question not repetitive ones? up to your question bank number of questions?

I am a bit confused. Can you please explain it to me?
Regards.

In GC club test we offer 1274 Questions....Now you get 2 options to choose from..

GC Quizes- Quizzes and tests share the same question pool. Although we offer 20 CATs using 1,274 questions (enough for 30+ tests), it is possible to reduce the number of possible CATs by taking numerous quizzes. This is especially true for the verbal questions.

GC CAT's- you should be able to take at around 20 CAT's (14 quant and 6 verbal tests).

So coming back to your question it is not Full length 4hour mock including AWA and IR..While taking CAT you may separately take Quant and verbal.Also regarding quizes You get option to choose different quant topics with level of difficulty..

Hope it was some what useful.

Hey bb
I am struggling in the verbal section. Thanks to the GMAT Club tests, my Quant has improved considerably.
Are there any tests to improve to verbal section(particularly)?

And thanks for the updating of tests(including the Economist.)
Thanks in advance.

e-GMAT specializes in Verbal... though they don't have a full test, they have a few diagnostic tests floating around.

Though it is not very clear to me how to access the diagnostic tests

Thanks bb... Though there is only 1 diagnostic test..I was actually looking for something more...
Should I try the GMAT Club verbal??

[quote="domfrancondumas"][/quote]

Egmat one diagnostic test is free, once you take their package you will get a lot more questions and mocks.

Definitely try Gc verbal.

Hi lullakaran,

First you need to tell us your break up of 650, though I feel you lacked something in both the sections. You have several options here:
1) First and the best: GMAT has released two additional paid CATs recently. You may avail that. Nothing can be better than GMATPreps.

No you should not save GMATPrep for the last. Such question banks are no less than gold mines. You must do them well ahead of your exam. A week before the exam you must have exhausted all the questions from this pool. For example, if you take this CAT few days before the exam you must score close to 800. You will see mostly repeat questions but don't worry about that. Understand that writing these exams at the end will not give you sufficient time to go through these questions.

2) For Quant: As bb said GMATClub offers some tests. In fact one for free. Believe you me the quant is awesome. You will get really good 700+ level questions which are as much close to actual GMAT questions as possible. MGMAT's quant is tough but not on same line of GMAT. They make questions difficult by complicating it while GMAT uses tricks/layers to make a question difficult.

3) You may buy extra questions from mba.com. See "GMATPrep Question Pack 1". Although, they aren't test but an invaluable resource. All actual retired questions.

4) As I can see that you have already written many tests, I suggest you to pay more heed to quality than quantity.

I hope this post helps.

Hey.

I am getting variable scores in Quant from various tests.
Example:
In MGMAT(3-4 tests): 45-46.
In Kaplan(3-4 tests): 49-51.
GMAT club (3-4 tests): 48-51

Is MGMAT quant tougher than the rest?

Due to my quant, my score may vary. Which score should I take as the TRUE SCORE?

Please help...

Thanks in advance...

None, can be taken as true reflector..

MGMAT- Are accurate but tough
Kaplan- Quant is little easy.(Less time consuming)
GC test- Extreme tough

On an average your true score is between 47-49, take gmat prep if you have not tried it till now.

HI to all experts out here... I have my GMAT scheduled on Oct 8th 2013. I have completed my preparations and the last two mocks I have taken from GMAT prep software I scored 710 (Q49,V37) in GMAT prep test-1 and again a 710 (Q50,V35) in GMAT prep test-3 (which comes with the new exam pack-1 recently released by GMAC). I am not so skeptical about the quants portion. I have been regularly practicing from club tests and scoring a 51 almost everytime. I am sure that 50 won't be that difficult for me unless something unfortunate thng happens.. As for the VA part, in the second test I committed just 9 mistakes in total though 4 of them were in the first 10 qns which dragged my scores down significantly. But I am really apprehensive about CR part which I have been very inconsistent in performance.. Is there by any means anything can be done regards this in the last few days? Any specific strategies? Any specific source to revise and go through important questions?? Any help is highly solicited!!

Thanks
Hitman!!

Yes MGMAT quant is tougher than other tests. If you are able to score 45-46 in MGMAT Quant you probably will able to score 48-50 on GMATPrep and in fact on real test as well provided you dont do any blunder in those tests.
GMATClub's Quant questions I find closest to GMATPrep but little tougher. But nothing can beat GMATPrep. These are the only official and closest to actual tests.

PS: If you are sparing GMATPrep for last week or so then reconsider your plan. You should exhaust all GMATPrep tests before a week at least so that you can solve every single question of it with one or two revisions. These are my personal thoughts and the same I recommend to my students.
