I thought their practice exams were much harder than the real thing

Definitely harder, but I wouldn’t really say good practice either

Why would you say it’s not good practice? And what would you recommend instead?

The strategy guide isn’t any harder than the quant you need to know, all of the concepts are relevant. Some say the quant on the Manhattan practice tests are harder, though.

By Manhattan practice tests are you referring to the 6 CATs they give you?

I thought it was significantly harder...Seems like test prep companies do that so when you take the real test you feel like you’ve improved a lot from using their stuff

Did you think the strategy guide problem sets were harder or just the CAT tests? Or both?

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3.

For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?
