Suggestions for full length quality GMAT mock test

Apart from the GMATPREP, Manhattan GMAT tests and Veritas Prep Tests in my experience have good verbal and Quant section and will certainly help you point out and improve your weak areas.

Veritas Prep.

I purchased the veritas prep test in December when they were running another discount and got the test for just $15. Although I have not yet used up the test, I can confidently tell you it was a great investment.

Let me begin by saying that Veritas prep tests are definitely a bit harder than the GMATPREP and even the actual GMAT.

Quant- The quant is somewhat similar and the topics are well distributed. You may start getting 700 level questions after you answer the first 2-3 correct questions in a row which is rarely the case in GMATPREP wherein I saw 700 level questions after the 8-9 questions. Secondly I noticed that the questions are very logic based which may or may not be the case with actual GMAT. But overall great practice questions.

Verbal- I felt the verbal section was definitely more difficult than the GMATPREP especially the RC. There were a few answers with which I didn’t agree with but overall nice and challenging questions. Definitely must try.

Post test analysis- I loved this part as they give you a nice detailed analysis of your test which helps the test taker evaluate their tests in details.

Scoring Algorithm- This was one of the week areas of the tests. The scoring was very strict as compared to the GMATPREP. The test punishes you if you answer 2 or 3 questions in a row which is not always the case with the GMAT. However please note that it is not possible for any company to imitate the actual scoring algorithm of GMATPREP.

However overall they are great tests and definitely a worth buy if you are getting it for a discounted price.

Manhattan Tests.

MGMAT tests are one of the best tests available in the market. They are a notch tougher than the real GMAT which makes it worth practicing with.

Quant- MGMAT quant is one of the toughest quant tests out there. The difficulty level of the questions is much higher than the GMATPREP or even the actual GMAT. I always ran out of time while practicing MGMAT tests which never happened on the GMATPREP tests. Secondly I felt that the quant questions on the MGMAT tests involved intensive calculation. However practicing higher difficulty questions definitely prepares you well for the actual test.

Verbal- I felt the verbal section was a level below the actual GMAT. There were a few SC and CR questions with which I didn’t agree with but overall nice and challenging questions. RC was definitely tough and more often included long passages. Overall a decent practice.

Post test analysis- I loved this part as they give you a nice detailed analysis of your test which helps the test taker evaluate their tests in details and MGMAT has great explanations for all the questions which helps the test taker improve their weak areas.

Scoring Algorithm- I normally scored much lower than my GMAT PREP Tests and even my actual GMAT. My low scores were mainly because of low quant score.

Hope this helps. All the best.

Taking (and retaking) the free GMATPreps might be useful here, but you should try not to rely on the scores you get on the retakes.
