GMAT Club Member Comments: "Good tricks and though questions in both Math and Verbal. Kaplan CATs will force you to think in the right direction.

GMAT Club Member Comments: “PR is very good as a refresher. The Princeton CATs are designed for those starting on basics concepts. As a result the Quant section seems to be primitive compared with Manhattan GMAT or Kaplan.” Link: Free CAT Test Other GMAT Tests & Products Math Revolution CAT: No Free Tests: Yes (1 Diagnostic test, 1 Mock Test) Price: Free Tests only GMAT Club Member Comments: "Hi Everyone, Thanks again for all the kind words and advice! Took some time to reflect about everything and decided that a quick run through of base concepts is needed (in certain areas). I took the Math Revolution Diagnostic Test (73 questions) and I would like to share my results with you in an effort to get some advice as to how to improve." Link: https://gmat.mathrevolution.com/ 800score CAT: Yes Free Tests: Yes - 1 Downloadable Quant Test Price: 5 downloadable tests for $24.95 Forum users comments: Quant section is challenging, while Verbal is of no challenge whatsoever. So don't get disappointed with low Quant score and do not rely on high results from Verbal as an indicator of mastering this section. Some more polishing still could be done since spelling errors and missing information happens in the test questions. Nevertheless can be a useful preparation tool in addition to other CATs. Link: https://www.800score.com Powerprep CAT: No Free Tests: Yes Price: Free tests only - Download Bottom Line: Powerprep are practice tests distributed by the GMAC, before 2006, and were replaced by GMAT Prep. GMAT Club Member Comments: "Its worth doing if you're looking for extra test simulations, however, don't be lulled into a false sense of security if you score high. There are many repeats from OG, you will score very high...". "Powerprep wasn't truly adaptive, so it's not overly useful anymore. It won't mimic your real GMAT experience. " Platinum GMAT CAT: No Price: free - no sign up required https://www.platinumgmat.com/gmat-practice-test/ GMAT Focus CAT: Yes Free Tests: No Price: 1 for $25; 3 for $65 Bottom Line: Definitely a good practice for Quant if you have some extra money to spend. Unfortunately some questions overlap with the OG 12. For more info go here GMAT Club Member Comments: "GMAT Focus is expensive but worth every cent." "If you don't mind the price of them, I think the GMAT Focus tests are pretty good. The big advantage is that they probably have a more-updated scoring algorithm, so you get an idea of where you're actually scoring for Quant. And it seemed to me that the types of questions were more recent (harder than OG, if you're scoring at a high Quant level).But if I had only $80 to spend, I'd probably buy the GMAT Club tests - you'll get 25 very good tests (with ~37 questions each) instead of 3 tests (with 24 questions each)."

It is hard to tell but MGMAT is by far more popular since you can get the CATs free of charge with a purchase any of the GMAT Guides (now there are 9 of them including the GMAT Roadmap). Until just a few months ago, you had to purchase the Veritas Prep tests. now they come included with the books (as long as you purchase the books via their site).

Hey bb,

I've literally began my GMAT journey today. All I have are the MGMAT guides (all 8 books) and the official review guides (12th and 2nd editions) by GMAC. Is that material enough to secure a 700+ score? I have roughly 3 months to study and will be working soon. I read your recommended study plan, but, unfortunately, I do not own any of the general GMAT prep books (Kaplan, Princeton, etc.). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, thanks for providing all this useful information--it has made the research process on the exam easier than it otherwise would have been.

Take care,
Yardy83

Yes you are good.
You may want to pick up MGMAT Roadmap if you can.
Other than that, you could also pick up MGMAT Verbal Foundations or MGMAT math Foundations if you are having issues with Verbal or Math.

Other than that, you are all good!

Access to MGMAT 6 CAT's at 11.99 $ for iphone / ipad / Android / Blackberry users
...
It worked for me and voila , i have access to good mgmat tests. I am saving some money to buy gmat club tests

Thanks for the tip!
works like a charm - ordered via amazon one of the guides for kindle ($9.99), immediately got the book on both my PC and Kindle, and forwarded the receipt to the specified email to get the online access. saved me about $60 ($24 book + $37 shipment :!:

).

Just started getting serious about the GMAT again because I know the test won't take itself, I have the OG and reviewed the topics, did the diag two years ago so just dove into a few practice problems over the past few days. Finally took the GMATPrep CAT for the first time, scored a 740 (Q48/V44), but not going to let that build make me over confident, I know I have a lot of studying in front of me. Just wanted to say this site is great and the resources are awesome!

What a great resource! It's great to know that I have about 6 free reliable CAT tests that I can take to train for the GMAT. Not only does this help with confidence, but will also tremendously help with creating my study plan.
