Non-official mocks: Kaplan vs. MGMAT vs Experts Global 24 Sep 2019, 09:04

Hello,

I am approaching the mock taking phase of my study plan and need suggestions on which non-official mock to use to build test-taking stamina. I have to decide between (breaking SC rules?) Kaplan, MGMAT, and Experts Global mocks. I have heard/read mixed reviews for all three. For example, some test-takers said Kaplan gives inflated verbal score, quant section on MGMAT's mocks is not representative of real GMAT, and Experts Global verbal section has debatable answers. I currently have access to Kaplan and EG mocks. I am currently leaning towards using my Kaplan mocks since Kaplan has been in the game longer than the rest.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi bebs,

Give the non-official mocks to just build stamina for the real test and NOT for the score estimate.
Only take the Official mocks score for the score estimate.

ScottTargetTestPrep No. I have one full official mock and the quant section of another official mock left. I already attempted official mocks 1-4 and verbal section of mock 5. The plan is to use the 1.5 official mocks closer to my retake date. I want to use the non-official mocks to gain some stamina and momentum before attempting the official ones.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi bebs,

You certainly could use any of the mocks you listed in your original post. Regarding the official mock you have left, take that one as your final practice exam leading up to your actual GMAT.

Also, you may find it helpful to read the following article:

Hi

As someone who has used Manhatten prep, Kaplan, and Experts’Global for Gmat preparation, I can assert that Experts' Global's mocks have edge over all the other test series

CONS

*Kaplan sometimes gives an inflated verbal score, (Subjected Opinion)

*Quant section on MGMAT's mocks is not representative of real GMAT

*Experts' Global Quant is also a bit tough, it's more like you get a greater number of 700+ questions.

PROS

* Experts’ Global Test series not only have Extraordinary questions, great scoring algorithm, excellent clarifications, and complete look and feel of GMAT in the interface but also they are very cost-effective as compared to any other test series in the market

*Kaplan Mocks are adaptive [ don't know about the adaptiveness of Experts' Global and MGMAT ]

*MGMAT has the best verbal resources after Gmat prep

PRICE

ExpertsGlobal test series consists of 15 brilliant mock tests and Costs only $50.

With Manhatten Prep, you will get 6 mocks for $75.

KAPLAN gives you 8 mocks for $150

CONCLUSION: Experts' Global has better value in terms of money and quality

Also, Though Experts' Global's Mock questions challenge you, at the same time they stay very close to actual GMAT questions.while in some of the other study materials and mocks as the difficulty of questions increase they also become irrelevant to GMAT or the language becomes really complex (or poor in quality) to comprehend.

Additional Note

The most remarkable element of these tests is( i think) their Comprehensive solution analysis. Each question had a clarification video. This ensured that I understand each question.

I hope that I solved your query
