Everyone says the Manhattan CATs are much more difficult than the actual test. Does anyone know what the difference is? 20/30 points, 50+?

Kept getting 600s on CATs, landed a 730 in the real deal

Math is easier, verbal is pretty close. I'd say increase you math by 2/3 points and leave your verbal and see what that makes

They're just not the same, use them for practice I guess but use the official tests to gage how you'll score on the real thing

I used Manhattan and took the GMAT just last month. I got 650 on all 3 of the practice tests that I took in the 2 months before my test. Got a 720 on the actual test. And honestly the math I got was so easy I felt like I bombed it... (My verbal was much higher than my quant though pulling me up to a 720)

like

100+ points differential for me. Quit MGMAT CATs after third one because both verbal and math were so ridiculously hard

I preferred to err on the side of ridiculously hard. Did about 10 CATs before the test (you can reset the five in Manhattan prep). Makes the real test a breeze
