Hi,
I am new to this forum but have very much enjoyed reading them over the past few weeks. I recently completed a Princeton Review course, took the GMAT for the first time, and am unhappy with my result. Back to the drawing board and I am hitting the books once again.
Looking for new material (and tougher material, as I found the actual test MUCH harder than the PR tests), I purchased five Manhattan GMAT CATs and just completed my first one. I am somewhat baffeled and am looking for some comments on the accuracy of these exams.
I scored a 690 (46 Quant, 38 Verbal). However, I am not sure why. Look at this break down:
Quant:
19 correct, 18 wrong
Verbal:
27 correct, 14 wrong
How can this be? How accurate are the Manhattan GMAT CATs? Was my good score (yes, I consider it good and it is my target) simply a result of only dealing with questions in the 700-800 range?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

In my case the overall score of MGMAT cats were accurate, but the breakdown was not. On both MGMAT and GMAC practice cats I scored lower on verbal and higher on math than the real thing by several points. Maybe it's just me, who knows. However, the overall scores on both were on target.
Generally people say that the math on manhattan is a lot harder than the real thing, but the scoring is more generous so it's kind of equal in the end. I know they recently recallibrated the verbal scoring so it's now lower than it used to be.
The bottom line is use the tests for practice nothing will be a perfect indicator of how you will do.

Had the same question. I guess it may have to do with the # of questions you get right in the beginning. The scoring curve depends a lot on the initial questions rather than how many you get right overall.
