Took my 2nd practice test and got a 630 (Q41/V35) after around a month of Manhattan prep. Is it possible for aim for a 730+? How many months/hours should I expect to put in for that?

Manhattan is tough, especially math. I never scored more than 670 on 3 Manhattan practice tests. Got 770 on test day. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ugh I don’t have that option.. I’m jealous

Literally the same as OW. Only one 700+ score on manhattan prep and 770 on test day. For reference, official GMAT practice exam scores were 740/760.

Yeah I did MUCH better (100+ points) on the real test than Manhattan prep tests. I think test prep companies intentionally make their materials harder so that when you take the real test and do better, you feel learned something from their stuff

I scored 710 and 690 on my first and second gmats.. doing mgmats now to study for another attempt, and I’m getting 630-650.. Manhattan prep is significantly more challenging than the actual. On OG, I was scoring 700-730 consistently.

Sounds like others have had a similar experience.

In the same boat as you OP, it’s pretty frustrating. I’m hoping that Manhattan Prep practice tests are more difficult than the real ones

Thanks OW, that’s encouraging

Anyone have feedback on Kaplan tests? I’m mid prepping now... I got a 720 on MGMAT (due to 50Q lol), but less on Kaplan (due to 35V). I don’t feel like I’m 720 level... i felt MGMAT free test was easier than Kaplan for V (which is my week spot)

I am worried i am illiterate on V and won’t be able to reach my target.
