Kaplan CAT 1: 610 (10/17)
...CAT 2: 700 (10/19)
...CAT 5: 630 (10/26)
...CAT 6: 680 (11/1)
...ULT: 690 (11/3)
...CAT 8: 610 (11/8)
Disclaimers: I had a really rocky test day (lost 2 minutes before even starting the quant section, and never quite recovered). Then my expected failure in the quant section pretty much ruined the verbal section (my strong area) for me. Basically, I feel that I should have scored a lot better than a 700, and, for those Kaplan kids, expect to gain points on test day. However, I have noticed that there was a big swing in my test scores when I was tired or distracted - just ensure that doesn't happen to you.
Good luck! : )

Hey, congratulations! You got a great score, which I think will help open a door to many leading MBA programs. I am a test taker who want the same score as you yet struggle with Verbal Section. My problem is that I don't have CATs to practice, since I have done GMAT Prep and Manhattan GMAT many times. My goal is to improve my Verbal from 29-30 to at least 35 level.
Do you think KAPTEST is worth enough to try? Where can I purchase it? Online?
Please help enlighten me.
