Re: KINDLY COMPARE MGMAT TEST WITH KAPLAN TEST [#permalink]
I personally enjoy the Kaplan CATs more because:
1) I score higher on them. :D (Kaplan - 760, Manhattan - 730)
2) I feel the Manhattan CATs unnecessarily push the difficulty of the Quant section higher.
3) Somehow the colours used in the Kaplan CAT keep me calm and let me finish my exam 10 min earlier in each section. (Lame reason, I know! But whatever helps me during the CAT is precious to me ;) )

But the Manhattan CATs, on the the other hand, have their own benefits:
1) The exams are longer so make you better accustomed at working with a time crunch.
2) Are more friendly when you have a crappy net connection.
3) Have a solid verbal section that test out the grammar rules and don't let you rely on your "hearing" much.

Well, it sounds like the START to a good issue essay! You want to begin as you did by listing out pro's and cons. But a list of goods and bads won't get you a good grade on your essay; you need to pick a side and stick with it firmly. You also need to rebut the other side. Fortunately, you have a list of your opponents' points already. It's easy to pick a weak one and tear it apart!
