Can people share their experiences that have taken both Kaplan and
MGMAT tests
From what I've heard the quant on kaplan is easier compared to
MGMATWhereas, the verbal portion is tougher...
Is this true?
Can someone comment on the questions SC,CR,RC etc of kaplan /
MGMAT and how was the quant section...
Hi Fozzzy,
I've taken the free
MGMAT and Kaplans recently. I've attached my scores below - perhaps you can make some deductions from it.
In general, I feel like my Kaplan scores (the one out of 800) are inflated. However, I can't advise if one is easier than the other, but I found both Kaplan and
MGMAT to be great practice exams to take. My only issue with Kaplan revolves around how you can't move the calculator in IR. For
MGMAT my issues were that I couldn't use the keyboard for the calculator and I had to always select the radio button (as opposed to the text/line). There were some other nuisance with the
MGMAT user interface, but out of all the different CATs I've taken, these two were by far the best (not counting GMATPrep, of course). The next best CAT was The Economist, but perhaps their verbal was easier (hence my better score?) and they lacked AWA and IR. I'd stay away from Veritas' IR section completely, but their Quant/Verbal were okay. GMAT Pill's free exam was terrible - stay away from that one.
