Hi veeralshah,

It looks like you posted this in a couple of Forums, so I've pasted my response below:

When it comes to CATs that you can purchase, there are a variety of respectable CATs available. While none of them is an exact match for the Official GMAT, they are all reasonably close. There are sets of CATs available from Kaplan, MGMAT and Veritas as well as the 2 additional CATs that you can purchase from GMAC.

Keep in mind that a CAT result is only as realistic as YOU make the CAT-taking experience. Thus, YOU have to take the CAT in a realistic and test-like fashion, including taking the ENTIRE CAT (with the Essay and IR sections), at the same time of day as your Official GMAT, away from your home, in a test-like environment and NOT do anything unrealistic (pausing the CAT, listening to music, skipping sections, etc.).

While it might be tempting to take lots of CATs, doing so is NOT what will make you a better Test Taker. A CAT is just a 'measuring device'; actual improvement comes from study, practice problems and quizzes, review, etc. The CAT is a way to measure your progress.

If you have already taken 4 practice tests, you have enough data to go on right now. Use it to figure out in which topics you need to improve and work on those topics. You can try out our free practice test here: https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/veritas-prep-resource-links-no-longer-available-399979.html#/free-gm ... tice-test/ We have a total of 7 latest mocks and they are all adaptive.

Hi veeralshah,

I have to agree with Karishma here. If you have 4 practice exams under your belt, it's time to go back and review all of them to identify patterns in your test taking. You'll be far more productive in your prep if you identify any concepts you're struggling with or timing issues that are holding you back (that is, if you're taking these practice tests under similar conditions you'll see on test day).

That being said, here's a link to sign up for a 7 day trial of Economist GMAT Tutor: https://bit.ly/1aKYX0U. In addition to practice exams, its adaptive technology will actually focus your study plan based on where you need to improve most.

Best,
Rich

You can always take a free GMAT PILL practice test here complete with detailed performance and timing analytics: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... ctice-test In terms of our scoring, many of our students report scores that are +/- 30 points from their actual GMAT test and so are a relatively good indicator of their performance. That said, no practice test can perfectly replicate the actual score algorithm, but this is quite close. https://gmatpill.com/images/practice-test-sample.jpg

What about the Experts global mock tests? are they equally good?

Hi Krenuka,

Only official exam packs are equivalent to the real GMAT.
If you have exhausted those, then I suggest you to go for Manhattan.

Thanks

Hi
Gmatprep tests are closest to the Gmat and you must buy them. 
If you need additional mocks you can go for MGMAT, Veritasprep or Gmatclub tests.
Hope it helps.

Experts Global's mocks are the best GMAT tests out there.

GMAT prep is of course better but it doesn't have explanations or analytics. GMAT prep must be used at the end of the preparation when the purpose is to know your exact level. However, for your regular preparation, you need a high number of mocks which have detailed explanations and give some great analysis of your performance and this is exactly where Experts Global scores much higher than even GMAT prep in my opinion.

Experts Global's test series has 15 mocks so you can practice without pressure of counting the tests. The scoring is very, very close to GMAT prep's in quant as well as verbal. The quality of questions is amazing and very helpful, particularly if you are targeting a high score. The video explanations are great and they often end up teaching you much faster and smarter ways of solving problems.

The best part however remains the analytics provided by Experts Global's mocks. The visually descriptive graphs and numbers give you a great deal of details into your performance, observations that may be humanly impractical to make. The analysis gives you your weakest areas, tells where you are wasting time, and a lot more.

To learn from the mistakes in mocks should be the primary purpose of taking mocks especially when the GMAT is some distance away. Experts Global mocks are the best for that as well as in quality, complexity, scope, and difficulty of questions.

I would recommend Experts Global strongly. You can always take the free mock and decide for yourself.

Good luck.

Experts Global's mocks are really good. They are relatively new so probably they are yet to get as popular as some of the older options but in matters of quality, number of mocks, explanations, analytics, and user interface they are way ahead of all other options. Personally, I would strongly recommend them.
