GMATPREP MOCK TEST 3-4 DIFFICULTY LEVEL

Question

Hi,

Is the official GMAT mock 3 easier than actual GMAT? I found quant questions to be easier than all of the other prep tests - Manhattan, Kaplan, GMAT Club, etc?

logro · Answer

Hey Rushikam - Your GMAT Prep mocks are a true representation of the actual GMAT. In my experience, Quant section of both Manhattan and Kaplan is a bit hard than the GMAT prep mocks. Having said that scoring high on these mocks from M&K can prepare you to tackle higher difficulty level questions

Kudos if it helps

Gmat prep 3 Quant is Easier than Manhattan and Kaplan and Veritas. Though Gmat Prep is Actual representation of official Gmat, still one should practice Manhattan and Kaplan and Veritas Quants too so that one could breeze through the Gmat Official. But verbal of Official Gmat is difficult in comparison to Gmat Prep.

So, 40 points higher than your previous practice exam is not crazy. Let me know when you take the next one.

Hi rushikam,

The 'pool' of questions that comes with each CAT is somewhat 'limited' (meaning that you could potentially see a far wider variation of question types on the Official GMAT than you would see on any of the individual practice CAT Tests). That having been said, that doesn't inherently make one CAT 'easier' than another; it could be that you just happened to see a set of questions that were easier to deal with with your current skills. There are also a variety of other factors that can impact your performance, including how well-rested you were when you took the CAT, the time of day that you took it, the section-order, the testing environment, etc. All things considered, if you took this recent CAT in a fashion that matches up with the parameters that you will face when you take the Official GMAT - and you did NOT see any of the questions before - then it's likely that you earned that result. Of course, the more this CAT-taking-event differs from what you will face when you take the Official GMAT, the greater the chance that this result is 'inflated.'

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:

Studies:
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 did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) 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,
