Choice of CATs [#permalink] New post   20 May 2019, 04:45
Good time of the day,

During the last two months I exhausted all 6 GMAT Prep CATS. I thought that these two months would be enough to get ready for the official exam. However, I am still not content with my scores and need new CATs to train. I have access to MGMAT and Veritas CATs. Folks say that MGMAT’s quant section is unnecessarily difficult but verbal section is closest to the official exam questions. As per Veritas, I often notice their imitation of OG verbal problems and thus may end up knowing the correct answer. I would be grateful, if someone could share his thoughts.

Thank you in advance.

Hi ShukharJon,

I am glad you reached out, and I’m happy to help. So, before providing specific advice, I’d like to learn more about your situation with the GMAT. I have some questions:

1) Please describe how you have been studying. For many hours a day over the last two months? What resources have you been using?

2) To what programs will you be applying? What are the deadlines for these programs?

3) By when would you LIKE to take the GMAT? By when MUST you take the GMAT?

4) What is your GMAT score goal?

5) What were the score breakdowns from your 6 MBA.com practice exams?

Once I learn a bit more about you, I can provide some detailed advice.

You may find it helpful to read this article about how to score a 700+ on the GMAT.

Hi

For a few reasons Manhattan CATs are far better than Veritas.

1. Algorithm
2. User Interface
3. Analytics
4. Answer Explanations
5. Questions setting.

Good Luck

Hi ShukhratJon

In a prior post (here: https://gmatclub.com/forum/help-evaluat ... l#p2252895), you stated that you had scored 610 and had a Score Goal of 700+. That post implies that you've studied off-and-on for at least 1.5 years, so I'd like to know a bit more about your RECENT studies and your studies overall:

1) What study routine have you followed over the last 2 months? How many hours were you studying each week?
2) What study materials have you used?
3) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs during that time (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)? How many times have you taken the 6 Official CATs? and have you used any other CATs at any point during your studies?
