Would anyone recommend and order in which to take practice tests. I have Princeton, Kaplan, and GMATPrep. I am through the Princeton and Kaplan books and have just started on the OG. I want to start taking practice exams now and am wondering if there are any benefits to taking one before the others.

Thanks,
Micah

Kaplan, Princeton, then save the GmatPrep for last. That should be the closest indicator of you score within 30 points + or -

remember GMAT Prep is pretty much what your score is going to be so make sure that one is last

for me gmatprep was a bit off.. i scored 690 on the first and 710 on the second. i ended up with a 640 on the real test. I think on the real test I might have flopped in verbal since I had been scoring in the 700 range for both Kaplan and GMATprep. Im going to take it again in a month and see how it compares again after i review

I suggest you take PR and Kaplan in pairs, i.e. 1 PR followed by 1 Kaplan.

PR is closer to the real thing. Kaplan is more difficult, but can be used as a tool to practice timing. What's more, if you only do Kaplans in a row, you may lost interest. You'll know what I mean when you start with Kap CAT.

Ya. Take GmatPrep at the end.
