Harshitha Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 My exam is on July 9th. I think I have covered all the topics for Quant and have memorized a decent amount of words for Vocab. Took the Manhattan free online test and scored a 319(V-162, Q-157). I was wondering, how accurate is it really? How close was the score to your actual one? Would be of great help to know!

Cesare Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 This is what I would like to know as well. I just took an ETS powerprep practice test and I scored dramatically higher. However, I don't know if this is because Manhattan is more difficult or I just remembered the exam from when I took it 9 months ago. My math was higher by 3 points and my verbal by 9....

MadtownJacket Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 From what I've heard, people generally get higher scores on their ETS test than their Manhattan practice tests. Cesare 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harshitha Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Well, I hope that is true. But I was wondering, is it true that the Quant section in particular is harder than the actual exam? Would love to hear from people who have taken both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lencias Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Based on my experience, all the non-ETS practices were harder than the ETS practice, and I consistently scored lowered on the non-ETS PT's than the ETS. But I found the actual GRE a little harder than the ETS PT, yet scored basically the exact same score I did on the PTs. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BF13 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Manhattan overemphasizes obscure vocabulary words. I got 164s on both sections of the Manhattan practice test, and my actual scores were within a 5 point range of those scores. I did much better on the real verbal section probably because the actual GRE focuses more on complex sentence structure/context rather than vocabulary.
