Very helpful thread; fantastic links above.

I also think the Why Practice Test Scores Vary thread will be helpful for a wide range of students.

I have taken Manhattan, Kaplan, Veritas, experts global and GMAT prep.

Except the last each is skewed a bit. Experts global didn't give me exact section scores but got me exact overall twice - 700. Manhattan doesn't give you exact same math score, it is bit difficult than actual. Veritas has similar issues.

Ideal strategy for test series: use all experts global, Manhattan, Veritas and Kaplan in the order of closeness to actual. Save your GmatPrep for reality checks.

Ideal strategy for practice : Use GMAT club to filter questions from official guide and GMAT prep only. Don't waste time solving non official questions.

Got 630 in 2018, scored 710 in 2019. Because I was working, I couldn't invest much time in improving my math, but improved verbal from 27 to 36.
