I have access to Princeton Review, Manhattan Gmat, Kaplan, Gmatclub challenges, Power Prep, Gmat Prep, and the official paper gmat tests.

In what order should I begin those tests?

I began with a Princeton Review, scored a 700 48 quant, 39 verbal. I don't know where to go next, got any suggestions? I'm beginning to become confident with my GMAT skills, but now ready to enter the next phase where I really target practice CATs etc. Please give a suggestion in how you would structure taking practice tests with two months to go before taking the GMAT.

Thanks!

Try GMATPrep (A must) and MGMAT CATS (quant is a real ball buster, but thats a good thing).

I saw take the first GMATPrep Test. That will really gauge where you are in your studies. I think GMATPrep is by far the best indicator of what your actual score may be. Then, I'd do any other practice CAT's, and I'd save the second GMATPrep Test for just before the exam. Doing well on the GMATPrep CAT's should give you a great boost of confidence prior to the day of your test.

700 on your first try? That's very good. No pressure, but you should ultimately end up with a score above 740.

Dump the Kaplan CATs

Finish up the Princeton CATs, then move on to MGMAT CATs.

If you feel confident, take ONE GMATPrep.

Then try the Challenges.

About two weeks before your actual exam, take the GMATPrep2. That will be a good predictor of what to expect.

Remember, GMATPrep is GOLDEN. Use it wisely.

Thank you everyone for the advice! I'll follow that regiment. The 700 score for the princeton review CAT was not my first shot, I took two CATs about 6 months ago with scores around 580. I took the GMAT right after and scored a 610 then took a break for about 4 months. Now I am back at it with the goal of 700+. Even though some of the material is not entirely fresh, I'll finish off the rest of the Princeton review cats for timing purposes, next move onto some MGMAT tests, then see how I do with the Gmat prep, and hopefully hammer away at the apparent weaknesses with the challenges. Thanks again for the advice! I'll keep youguy sposted on my progress.
