Does anyone have any insight on how the Manhattan GMAT CATS compare to the real GMAT? I am of the opinion they are easier no? I am having a bit of difficulty finding comparable exams (aside from GMATPrep). Kaplan is skewed too harshly and Princeton Review/Manhattan GMAT seem too easy?

From what I've read here, they are slightly harder than the real thing. Also, they are not adaptive.

Although, I scored higher on mgmat#1 than gmatPrep#1 by 10 points.

In my experience PR was on par for verbal, not too easy. The GMATPrep tests and PR tests are adaptive; I don't know about M GMAT. Their verbal practice questions are supposed to be good, though.

I have only taken one MGMAT test and I'm not going to bother taking the other two that I purchased. This is not because I didn't score well (which I didn't) but because the test seemed so different from the GMAT Prep, PR, and Kaplan CATS. The questions seemed to be much more involved and time-consuming than questions I've seen anywhere else.

I'm not sure how seriously to take the MGMAT score either since it's not a CAT. Here are my scores on all the tests I've taken:

PR 680
Kaplan 700
GMAT Prep 730
GMAT Prep 710
MGMAT 570

I agree. I thought it was a little weird. The math is very difficult. I got a 47-49 (can't remember for sure) but I got 15+ questions wrong. Also their SC seems to be much more involved, rather than testing a concept, they'll pile on about 3 concepts at once. This is good for practice, but not very efficient in modeling the actual exam.
