What are you talking about? GMAT only has CAT version. Paper test are retired.

The ones you mentioned IBT, CBT, or paper test only exist in TOEFL test.

What I am asking is, if we where to compare the different test that have existed until now, how do they compare to each others in degrees of difficultity..

Has someone calculated the difference in score that someone with: lets say 650 in the Internet based one would have scored in the other ones.

Do I make sense????


What's IBT?

I think I kind of get what you're asking. Understand that not all computer based tests are CATs. Here's my take on the practice gmat's I've taken.

GMATPrep - the gold standard. Do not waste it on a whim.

Princeton Review online test - math is too easy, but incorrect answers punish your score. verbal is on par. overall scoring is similar to actual gmat.

Manhattan non CAT - very difficult, expecially the quant. scores are lower than actual gmat, but not by much, I'd say no more than 30pts

Manhattan CAT - easier and scoring is a bit inflated.

Kaplan paper
- ridiculous
