Manhattan GMAT Club Tests

Question

I attempted club test one last night and was very surprised at how difficult the test was compared to Official GMAT Review 12th edition.

Which is the actual GMAT more like? I can get almost all of the questions in the 12th edition guide correct, but very few of the Manhattan Club Test questions.

I think that Manhattan is a more useful prep tool, especially for the Quant section. Of course, practice makes perfect, and each practice is more or less building towards a good score

Okay thanks guys. I downloaded the GMATPrep Software today and got a 640 on the first practice test. I've put about 35 hours of studying in so far, so is it realistic to think I could get a 700 with another 100 hours of studying?

Obviously there are a lot of variables in play, but I am just looking for a rough estimate.

My two scores were:

Quant- 42 (66 percentile)
Verbal- 36 (80 percentile)

i think is really important to find out your "weak spots" and then figure them out. I see that you got in the 80% in the verbal, which is good. If you improve the quant score, you can break the 700 barrier. My opinion is: figure weak spots, improve them and the practice practice practice :D

GMAT Prep quant is much easier than the real exam.

southernstunna · Answer

damn, that's what I was afraid of. My quant is pretty poor, but I think the quant is more learnable than the verbal stuff. I'm about to pick up the geometry and number properties Manhattan guides as those are my two weak spots. Thanks again for the help.

I completed the 6 MGMAT CAT exams already. Are the problems recycled on GMATClub's Manhattan exams under free tests?

EBM · Answer

You could always redo the MGMAT exams--since they're adaptive you won't see the same set of problems unless you get exactly the same sequence of right/wrong as before. Plus it's unlikely you remember anything from the first one at this point.

No, the questions we offer are the MGMAT challenge questions - extra hard!

Andreweng · Answer

BB, Thanks for answering my question.

Can you and anyone on GmatClub shed any good advice about how I can increase my score in the coming weeks before the real exam...See my post below.

"Hi GMATClub members,

I've been studying to take the GMAT for the SECOND time for three months now. My first sitting was at end of June 2010, when I officially scored 430. I'm using MGMAT materials and resources, and my MGMAT cat scores are as follows:

4/25/2010 450 (Q27, V26)
4/26/2010 560 (Q40, V28)
5/12/2010 470 (Q26, V30)
6/5/2010 440 (Q31, V21)
6/12/2010 570 (Q40, V29)
6/17/2010 460 (Q26, V28)

Honestly, I didn't spend any time doing OG problems leading up to my appointment in June. Since the first sitting, I started using an error log and so far, I've completed roughly 66% of Quant and Verbal OG problems, scored 11/45 on the diagnostic gmatclub quant test, 13/37 on GmatClub Quant 1, 19/32 on Idioms test, and 480 on my first Gmatprep attempt. I didn't take GMATPrep test before the first sitting. Big mistake.

As you guys can see, I'm all over the place. I'm just trying to review my weak areas in all three sections of verbal; and attack my quant weak areas - divisibility, Inequalities, rate/work, probability, VICs, and anything that is lacking. I know I need to get my timing down. I can devote up to 8 hours per day up to my exam in the first week of February. My target score is 620.

PLEASE ADVISE. Any tips would be appreciated!!!!!!!!"
