I am in a similar situation like you. I have taken GMAT Prep Test 1 several times, so my score jumped from 660, 710 to 770. I am saving my GMAT Prep 2 for final 2 weeks before the exam. I tried MGMAT CAT and got 660 and everyone MGMAT CAT verbals are no way like the real one.

I dont know what else to try now to see where I stand. I am going to try Kaplan, 800score or other tests.

The following is strictly my opinion and doesn't pretend to be anywhere near the truth :)

Nevertheless,

800score - These test are far from official thing. They may be difficult, but the problem is, question types are very unGMATlike (especially Quant section)


Manhattan GMAT Cats - These are the best CATs out there on the market apart from GAMTPrep CATs. I consider them bit tougher than real thing. Quant section is sometimes simply brutal. On the other hand, that's the kind of training you really need. For me personally, MGMAT CAT scores where on average 10-20 points higher than the score I got on exam (maybe that was simply matter of exam stress)

GMAT Club Tests - Not CAT, so i don't think it could be directly compared to exam.

So MGMAT CATs can really be a good approximation for exam, bu tnot 80score or Gmatclub tests


Is the verbal any good in 800score? I'd like to try it out. The Math section however is very difficult....

I tried platinumgmat test today and got 650-660. They give you a range not the exact score. Q(47, 49) and V(31-33). I was surprised with the quality of the questions, it was much better than I expected.

also i has a link that you can send it to other to get feedback about your score.

I think that The Verbal section of 800.score tests is quite easy, at least for the final score and percentile it gives you. I wouldn't recommend to consider it as an aproximation of the real verbal thing.

If you're not having trouble with the GMATClub Test in terms of time and difficulty, then you should be fine for quant. I agree with shalva; GMATPrep and Manhattan have the best CAT's, in that order. Everything else is a step down in quality. Too many members have complained about the 800score resources. I don't recommend them. It would be better to reinstall the GMATPrep and use that instead.

While not official GMAT material, the Manhattan verbal section is not far from the actual test.

It's important to remember, though, that the real test will have a number of experimental questions that don't affect your score. The practice CAT's, regardless of the source (Kaplan, Manhattan, etc.) don't have those questions.
