They are definately not useless , but rather gem of a test ..
Quant is difficult for some unknown reason in manhattan tests...
official tests + mgmat + GC tests are perfect combination for preparation ...

Sorry for the confusion you have.
Manhattan mocks are best in class. I am using them and finding them helpful. If those are not working for you, don't stress too much. Focus on weak areas and try giving remaining official mocks as well in next 2 weeks.

Good Luck!

Probably fair to say if the Official Mocks are Tier 1 (no other mocks reach that tier), then Manhattan Mocks are in the Tier 2 grouping. If you are consistently doing well on Official Mocks that is a good sign.

Hi MJ2488,

Since that GMAT Scoring Algorithm is proprietary, no GMAT company has an exact match for it, thus CAT scores can vary a bit based on the 'biases' involved in their respective designs. The MGMAT CATs are generally regarded as being a bit tougher than the Official GMAT, but they will still give you a reasonably accurate assessment of your skills (assuming that you take your CATs in a realistic fashion that matches-up with how you will take the Official GMAT).

It's also worth noting that each CAT/mock is really a 'measuring device' - when used correctly, it will give you a realistic score and help define your strengths and weaknesses, but it will NOT help you to fix any of those weaknesses. To raise your scores, you have to learn the necessary Tactics and put in the proper practice and repetitions. The CAT will show you whether your studies are helping you to improve or not. In addition, the process of taking (and reviewing) a CAT requires a significant amount of energy and effort - and takes time to 'recover' from. This is one of the reasons why you typically should not take more than 1 CAT per week - and your last CAT should be taken about 1 week before Test Day. Based on your current schedule, you could reasonably take 2 CATs before your Official Exam, but you should not take any more than that. In the last few days before your Test, you should limit your studies to general practice and light review (NO CATs and NO 'cramming') - you would be better served by getting some extra rest so that you can go into Test Day calm, clear-headed and ready to work.

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hi MJ2488,

Since you seem to have three official practice tests left to take, I would just focus on those. Do you plan to complete the final 3 practice exams?
