Hi all,
I have struggled with the 800score cats (especially math) for each of the five tests. I searched the forums, and I found post that stated that 800score cats should be disregarded because they are too easy. On the other hand, Manhatten scores shouldn't be taken too seriously either because they are too hard.
Now, I'm no slouch in math. But has anyone tried the 800score CATs recently? I notice on their site that they've been updated in 2005, and unforuntely I can't remember what the date was of the previously mentioned post. Some of their questions are laughable.
For instance:
calculate (1.387)(6749) + (4.453)(233) / 2.452
With all answer choice pretty close to the actual answer. It took me one min at least to get to that point, now I have to do this calculation in under a min? (they're not the exact numbers, but they're close)
I'll leave it at that before I go on a rant about my feelings regarding 800score and the people who run it.

Don't worry about those tests. As others said, they're not reliable.
I only used Cracking the GMAT tests and official tests, and both were very close to the real thing. Have you taken either of those yet?

Yep, tried the GMATPrep and was comfortable. I have not tried the Crack GMAT tests tho. I'll look into it.
Thanks for the tip my friend!
