Best mocks

Hi Vig17,

Wleomce to gmatclub!

Check out this thread:
Overview of all CAT tests

Hope this helps!

Hi Vig17,

Apart from the GMATPREP, Manhattan GMAT tests, Veritas Prep Tests and Experts' Global CATs in my experience have good verbal and Quant section and will certainly help you point out and improve your weak areas.

Further another advantage of taking many mocks is to build up your stamina. Apart from the GMATPREP tests, taking practice tests of any major GMATPREP company ought to do that.

I would also encourage you to purchase GMATPREP QP 1 for some great additional practice. Here is a link that can help you with your decision. https://gmatclub.com/forum/all-gmat-pra ... ml?fl=menu.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hi Vig17,

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 a bit based on the 'biases' involved in their respective designs. The most realistic CATs available are the 6 from GMAC, but retaking a CAT that you've already taken is NOT a realistic way to assess your skills. Seeing even a few 'repeat' questions can 'throw off' the Scoring Algorithm and impact your pacing, energy levels, fatigue, etc. (meaning that they would likely all be better than they normally would be). Thankfully, 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).

From your posts, I understand that your goal is to raise a 660 to a 750+ in just a few weeks. Unfortunately, that type of improvement in such a short period of time is likely too difficult to be considered realistic. While you might be tempted to take lots of practice CATs, that would NOT be a good idea.

A CAT 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. Raising a 660 to the point that you could consistently score 750+ will likely require at least another 2 months of consistent, guided study. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, 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?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) For the upcoming application deadline you listed, what is the minimum Score that you would apply with?

Best CATs after GMAT prep

1. Manhattan CATs
2. Kaplan CATs
3. GMAT CLub CATs
4. Veritas prep CATs
5. Experts Global CATs

Experts' Global's mocks are the nearest to GMAT in quality of questions, range of concepts, the interface, and the overall feel/experience. I found the scoring- total as well as the split, highly representative.

This is probably the only test series that also comes with video explanations, which are really useful. The post-test analysis is the best part as it really breaks your performance and makes the hours spent in taking the mocks really worth it. The algorithm keeps telling your weakest areas as per the recent performance and that is a great feature.

Experts' Global gives 15 mocks so just one test series becomes enough. I took the free mock of some of the other renowned test series but frankly, did not find them comparable to Experts' Global's platform.

They offer a free mock so you can always take a mock and judge- https://www.expertsglobal.com/free-gmat-practice-test

I wonder why Experts' Global's mocks and course are relatively less talked-about, despite being far ahead in quality as well as features.
