I take MGMAT CATs and I noticed that their Math questions are kind of hard? I would like to know if in REAL GMAT the math questions are that hard?


yeah. Nothing like the real gmat. Gmatcat on mba.com is as close to the real thing

MGMAT CAT Quant. questions are a good reflection of what you can expect on the real thing. Having taken both, I would say that if you can finish the MGMAT questions on time and score well, you will put yourself in a good position to score well on the real GMAT. One thing that I've learnt after preparing a lot and scoring quite low on the real thing is that higher the difficulty level that you get comfortable with, the better.

To me, the MGMAT Math questions are concept consuming rather than brain consuming. If u know concepts enough, u will be fine with MGMAT.

But, for the real thing, u will have to be ready with brain consumming questions. Many times, the GMAT Math questions are designed to catch u on the fast & silly mistakes. It wants u to know your weaknesses and so to identify the traps in the questions in which u can fall.... Most of time, the concepts are not that hard in real GMAT but a special angle to represent them combined with a tricky wording from which u must be sure to have well understood every single word is the thing that makes it hard. :)

Good Luck ! :D :)


what do u mean by brain consuming? a lot of quantitative manipulation?

I mean:
> Fresh mind for each question.
> Awarness of all quant aspects linked to a question : the quant surface covered by the question in 1 or multiple quant areas
> Awarness of traps : special numbers 0, 1, 1/n, sqrt(n)...
> Awarness of your weaknesses to explore them in case of a mistake hidden behind them
> A very open minded attitude : most of time GMAT questions want u to go in 1 direction by the shapes of its questions... and so to make u misinterpreting the results with the help of an inertia created by your own education
> and so stamina to do all of this for 37 Q question and behind it u have the V section...
