Which CAT other than GMATPrep and MGMAT ?

Question

Hi All,

What is the next best CAT after GMATPrep and MGMAT ?
I have exhausted both of them, and unfortunately the score I got in real GMATis nowhere close to my practice scores. I did some blunder in test and got pathetic score. I am retrying in a month and want to keep my rhythm.

Are 800Score CATs any good ?
The reviews in Gmat Club are pretty old, moderators should refresh them.

Have you used the two practice tests that are included in the GMATPrep Exam Pack 1 software(released in Sep 2013) that can be added to the GMATPrep? Other than that GMATFocus is an option for quant, although it is not perfect.

Cheers,
Dabral

Veritas Prep CATs are also pretty good.

The Exam Pack 1 tests are really great and close to the real exam. Also, please take Exam 3 first, then Exam 4, and then you can repeat Exam 3 etc. Although the Exam Pack 1 database is too small(200 questions in quant), and there will be several questions that will be repeated in subsequent attempts to make the retakes more or less useless.

One other source is the GMATPrep Question Pack1, which has a database of around 200 questions, and one can create mock tests of 37 questions and attempt them in 75 minutes. It won't give you a score but perhaps give you a trend based on the number of correct questions as you improve your performance. If you need details on how to do this, I describe it in the link below with screen shots: https://gmatquantum.com/strategy/best-u ... questions/

Of course the best source for the adaptive tests at this stage is the Exam Pack 1.

Best wishes,
Dabral

Theanks again Dabral. The link shows how can I simulate quants to get 37 questions with type and difficulty. Could you advise similar set-up for verbal ?

I personally enjoyed Kaplan CATs. Check out my reviews on the different free CAT exams in my signature if you want.

Please see the attached image that shows my recommended breakdown to create sets of 41 questions for the Verbal section. On the GMAT, in general one gets 16 Sentence Correction, 14 Reading Comprehension, and 11 Critical Reasoning. I modified it slightly to 15 Sentence Correction, 15 Reading Comprehension, and 11 Critical Reasoning, because this helps to create the greatest number of sets, five in this case.

Cheers,
Dabral

Many students report scores that are within + or - 30 points of what they score on the GMATPrep software.

More important than the scoring is the feel that you will get -- as the interface mimicks that of the actual test. And yes, the test covers the integrated reasoning section.
