The Veritas prep CAT simulates the test as closely as possible to GMAT original test. I would highly recommend everyone who wants a quality assessment of their GMAT test score, then your go to place is Veritas CAT.
I got a special offer in which I got 49$ - 7 tests at just 19$. Though one can argue other platforms such as E-gmat, Manhattan are good, Veritas would definitely top the list of the best and accurate GMAT CAT available in the market.
Please also note that, veritas allows the users to write the same test twice by resetting all the questions that appeared on the tests.
Comparing Veritas CATs to MGMAT CATs, I would definitely recommend you to go for the MGMAT CATs.
First, the analysis of MGMAT of each test (after you have done it) is way more complete.
Second, the CR questions on the verbal in Veritas are very similar to the OG, so if you already know the OG, you will easy solve them. SC seemed way to large and different from OG. And RC was way too large( too large) and with difficult words.
The Veritas Quant section is fine. Similar to MGMAT. A little bit more difficult than GMAC.
The score that gave me in Verbal was too low...
The Veritas test bundle is a good investment. In the beginning, I did not pay much attention to it as I did not like UI of it. The UI is quite different from GMATclub test or from the real GMAT test. This distracted me a lot. But honestly, the questions were pretty good and I really liked the detailed explanation of every question. In some questions, they had even provided alternate solutions as well. The question set had a good variety and I found a lot of questions on a similar line in real GMAT. The Quants section was quite relevant and the verbal had a little different pattern, which I was not expecting. The difficulty level of questions was also pretty good. I would recommend trying this test once as I found it value for money.
I had purchased the pack of 7 GMAT practice tests from Veritas for my preparation.I found the tests to be useful. But I found the tests to be extremely inconsistent. Some tests were very easy and some were too difficult. The difficult ones did prepare me for worst case scenario GMAT paper but verbal was way too difficult than actual paper. The scoring too seemed to be off by a long way. So students should not be disappointed with mock tests scores. Still I would request Veritas to balance out the question difficulty and topic wise - which would make these tests very good from a time management perspective.
I got free Veritas CATs with GMATClub Premium membership. I found their Quantitative section most relevant and helpful but their verbal section is bit on harder difficulty level as compared to real test. Secondly their verbal tests quality is not up to that par. Especially RC section is harder and passages are a bit longer in length. SC section do not replicate real test as well. Though CR section is quite relevant.
Moreover veritas CATs scoring algorithm is not preferable as i found that despite of attempting most of the questions right you still end up getting low score.
Nevertheless, veritas CATs are great source to build stamina and to get yourself aligned with real test.

I would start with my own experience of GMAT test, I scored V30 which very low comapared to score of V32 -V34 which i got in Veritas tests. My actual score was mean of all the scores i got in veritas CATS.
So for me it was more or less very close to actual GMAT in terms of scoring. If we compare the level of questions , i would say practicing little hard questions is worth it as even easy questions in actual exam under stress appears difficult.So without exam stress Veritas Cats are good to practice , though they have higher difficulty.

I tried the free practice test and found that Veritas Prep's version of GMAT mock exam was delicately written to conform with the "logic" behind the real test. I had a pleasant test experience; the platform was easy to navigate and the solutions to each question showed a detail analysis of all answer choices.
As good representatives of GMAT questions were scarce, I decided to purchase a package that contained 6 additional mock exams and took 4 of them. After those tests, I would say that although the questions were great to practice with, each mock had its own concentration that didn't reflect the reality; for example, there could be a string of difficult questions or a particular area might be overrepresented.
However, as we can only find the next best GMAT questions from a small number of prep providers, Veritas Prep's ones are as good as they get.
I got my hands on the Veritas prep CATs when I purchased the premium membership on the GMAT Club. The CATs come along with a question bank (which is very useful) for selective practice. The explanations are very succinct and specially verbal explanations are helpful.
In terms of difficulty, I found the CATs to be a bit on the tougher side. The Quant questions are very hard with some requiring multiple concepts and traps. Usually on the GMAT prep the quant questions have one or at most two traps. In terms of scoring I felt the scores to be inflated (in terms of number of wrong questions - however, given that all the questions are on the tougher side, the inflated scoring must be trying to account for it)
All in all, really good set of questions. The question bank is super useful & CATs are tougher-than-the-GMAT , so if you are one of those people who believe in preparing for the worst so that the real thing becomes a breeze - these tests are for you!
I bought 7 veritas prep CATs. The quality of the CATs is very good.
The difficulty of the CATs keeps on increasing as you go on completing each test. I found verbal section of tests to really tough. I think the kind of question you would get on test day will be similar to the questions that are there in veritas prep CATs. Overall one should buy these test to practice AWA and Integrated Reasoning in timed environment and to replicate test conditions. Integrated reasoning question are also quite interesting and tough in the CATs. So they are quite similar to the official tests.
I had purchased the pack of 6 GMAT practice tests from Veritas for my preparation. I found the tests to be extremely inconsistent and did not have a balanced mix of questions in each CAT. Some tests were very easy and some were too difficult. The scoring too seemed to be off by a long way. I was consistently scoring in the 730-760 range in manhattan and official test whereas Veritas scored me 610-640 across all the tests.
Nevertheless, I would request Veritas to balance out the question difficulty and topic wise - which would make these tests very good from a time management perspective.
