Manhattan CAT review

I took Manhattan's Prep's CAT's after enrolling in a live Manhattan course. I was surprised by the quality of these tests.

Firstly, these tests are not very comparable to the GMATPrep tests. For example, I found the quant to be daunting. The entire quant section was unbelievably wordy and far more complex than anything I had seen on GMATPrep quant. With that being said, Manhattan Prep's quant section could be useful in terms of skill building, but it is far too unrealistic to the GMAT quant. (Fair warning: these tests made me question my quant ability, and really drained my confidence, take with caution).

Lastly, I felt the Verbal portion was slightly easier on average. The SC and CR are on par, but the RC passages are not too difficult to read, I felt the GMATPrep readings were a bit more cumbersome.
