Hello All,
I would like to get your opinion on Manhattan GMAT’s CATs compared to the real GMAT/GMAT Prep. Here is the history of all my practice exams/CAT exams.
GMAT Prep 1: 560 – Q42 V – something really low, like low 20s.
After completing MGMAT’s strategy guides, I started taking their CAT exams.
MGMAT CAT 1 – 600 – Q42 V 30
MGMAT CAT 2 – 630 – Q44 V 32
MGMAT CAT 3 – 650 – Q45 V 35
GMAT Prep 2 – 610 – Q44 V 30
I took the real GMAT this past weekend I performed atrociously. I scored a 600 Q45 V27. The general consensus is MGMAT’s Quant is harder than the real GMAT and the verbal is easier, maybe not necessarily easier but indicative of GMAT’s verbal. I experienced this first hand. While I can’t detail the differences between the two, I can ascertain the two are different. My mistake was relying too heavily on MGMAT’s study guides while not focusing on OG questions.
What suggestions do you have for me to raise my verbal score?
Does reading GMAT-like material daily help?
Thanks.

I also used MGMAT for studying in addition to the OG and OG verbal and quant review. The Manhattan verbal questions arent really worth much, now the guides are amazing. I would recommend going through the guides you have most trouble on and doing the OG problems in each chapter. From there you should have a better idea of your weaknesses.
With verbal once you have a good foundation and understand how the gmat test makers think you just need to do the problems. After doing more official problems you start to get a sense of right and wrong patterns.
For reference I got a 690 on the real thing Q44V42 and I usually got V44 and above on the gmat prep tests.

Relay heavily on official Questions.For CR power score is good.But then again after completing the theory from Powerscore you should do a lot of OG questions.
