Need Help...Manhattan GMAT test

Question

Hi All,

I really need some advice...

I took Manhattan GMAT CAT 1 today and scored disappointing 560. I have heard that it is closer to actual GMAT. Is this true?

I was so pressed for time in verbal that i had to do 10 questions in 3 mins, including a reading comprehension. I guessed blindly.

How accurate are Manhattan GMAT scores?

I don't think Manhattan is on there, but overall the practice tests seem to be a good guide to how well you will do. The first time taking it is by far going to be the least accurate since your test taking technique will be improved and that alone will help your score.

Did you take the adaptive or non-adaptive. Adaptive is a better test.

Your Quant and Verbal definitely need some work.

MGMAT tests are pretty accurate, especially since April 24th, the day when MGMAT staff changed the scoring algorithm of MGMAT tests to better reflect the scoring pattern of the actual GMAT test. 
I found that MGMAT's verbal is extremely close to the real thing, so if you ran out of time on verbal section, you need to practice your pacing. 
MGMAT's quant questions are more difficult and time consuming than the actual GMAT's questions, however, the scoring is less punishing than that of the real GMAT, so at the end you should end up with a fairly good estimate of your raw math score. What is your V/Q breakdown?
MGMAT has a great tool that allows you to see the areas you are weak at, so definitely utilize it in your practice! 
I suggest you take a GMATPrep test also.

MGMAT does not have non-adaptive tests anymore. The tool I am referring to is the "assessment reports." This feature allows users to view the mistakes made by content area, topic, question format, and the level of difficulty.
