for looking into it.
Could you please elaborate a little about 6 CATs from GMAC as I am aware about only 2 free CATs.
Hi Gmatprep550,
The scoring algorithm on the Official GMAT is far more complicated than most people realize. Since that algorithm is proprietary, no GMAT company has an exact match for it, thus CAT scores can vary based on the 'biases' involved in their respective designs. The most realistic CATs available are the 6 from GMAC (the 2 free CATs, and each of the 2 that come with Exam Pack 1 and Exam Pack 2), so if you have not taken any of those CATs yet, then you might want to take one for comparison purposes. Beyond the 6 Official CATs, the CATs from Kaplan,
MGMAT and Veritas are all 'close enough' to the real thing that they will provide you with a relatively realistic score assessment (assuming that you use the CAT correctly).
Before I can offer you any additional advice, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
Since last 6-7 months but also working full time so can study for around 2 - 2 and half hour a day2) What study materials have you used so far?
I have "Complete GMAT Strategy Guide Set", all OG 20183) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs/mocks (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
I have gave 3 mock so far and scores of the same are as follow, sharing as guess that might help you to make training plan.

2) Quant - 45 , Verbal - 29 (800 Score.com)
3) Quant - 47 , Verbal - 27 (800 Score.com)
