secondarydefinitions Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 I've got the GRE soon and I have been practicing by and large with Manhattan GRE's 6 CAT's. My question is pretty simple: how representative does everyone think these CAT's are? I've taken four so far; in my opinion, the Verbal sections are somewhat more difficult than PowerPrep and the Math is about the same, if not a little more difficult as far as question difficulty goes (but apparently not scale, as I'll discuss in a sec) My scores for V on PowerPrep have been 760 and 750 and my scores on MGRE's tests have been 680, 700, 740, 730. My PowerPrep scores in Math have been 750 and 750, my scores on MGRE Math sections have been 3 800's and a 760. Now, on the PowerPrep Math sections I missed only 3, perhaps 4, it's hard to remember; but on MGRE I have been between 5 and 7, which is a bit confusing. Has anyone had the same experience with the algorithm/curve being different for MGRE? It is the same to a lesser extent when comparing the number I missed on MGRE Verbal vs. PowerPrep Verbal.
Jchris002 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I used the MGRE tests to practice and scored about the same as you on the Quantitative. I feel that it was relatively representative of the actual test, except I would say that the actual GRE was slightly more difficult. I ended up scoring 720 on the quantitative section which I was somewhat dissapointed with, but I think that you will be fine. The vocab section was almost exactly the same.
