Should I do Kaplan CAT? Is it worth it? Or are they too much trouble?
Someone told me that they are non adaptative?
You get the same Q's regardless..? Is that true?

I personally don't think they're worth it, because no, they're not adaptive, and their tests are harder than the real thing (you can't rely on the practice scores).

Do the GMAT Prep official tests, Princeton Review tests, and if you need more practice, the old Powerprep tests (there's a link on here somewhere for those).

I feel exactly the opposite. Their tests are easier than the real GMAT, so it may not be very useful. Also, it is not adaptive.

I beg to disagree. Almost everybody (99.99%) people believe that KAPLAN is more difficult than the real thing. Atleast KAPLAN tests are not worth your time. Their RCs in the test are like you are reading an alien language. On top of that their scoring algorithm is crazy. I got 7 wrong on GMATPREP and got 50 in quant. I got 6 wrong in KAPLAN and got 44. Their tests are nothing but demoralizers. My hit rate in RC in OG is around 85-90 %. I got only 1 RC question wrong in GMATPREP and in KAPLAN I got only 4 right out of total 15. I can't believe this. My suggestion is don't waste time on the KAPLAN tests, THOUGH KAPLAN BOOK IS OK. KAPLAN 800 is also good for practicing difficult questions.
