It is important to note that every GMAT Practice Test, other than the tests found on MBA.com website, tries to approximate its adaptive algorithm and questions as best as it can to the actual GMAT. So the closest to actual GMAT will always be the official practice tests from MBA.com. For all other GMAT practice tests, we have used feedback from students over the past years as our guide. If we have missed anything or if you have some feedback or comment, please contact us.

Verdict: Provided by the same company that administers GMAT – GMAC. Contains real GMAT questions and likely uses the same Computer Adaptive Algorithm that real GMAT uses. It is the best predictor of the actual GMAT score based on knowledge. It is hard to predict impact of test conditions, test day stresses on the scores, and since you take this test at your home, there is a possibility that you score better or worse than your practice test results. Previously called “GMATPrep”. Finally – taking the paid tests is also highly recommended.

| Price | $0 | $49 (could be free with stipulation) |
| Where to find | Free Test | Paid Tests |
Verdict: Very strong and accurate set of CATs. Students have consistently reported Manhattan Prep tests as the closest to actual GMAT. Students have often reported Quant to be harder than actual GMAT level, so you may actually do better in Quant in real GMAT test.
Veritas Prep

| Closeness to real GMAT | N/A | N/A |

Verdict: Good interface, good quality questions and an overhauled Adaptive algorithm makes for a promising test. Give it a try.
Kaplan
| – | Free | Paid |
|---|---|---|
| Number | 1 Test | 4 Tests – 8 Tests (limited time access) |
| Type | Adaptive (CAT) | Adaptive (CAT) |
| Closeness to real GMAT | Decent (+/- 70) | Very close (+/- 70) |
| Price | $0 | $149-$199 (additional prices likely in combination with their books and courses) |
| Where to find | Free Test | Paid Tests |
Verdict: Traditionally Kaplan tests used to grade much harsher compared to GMAT. As a result, the test takers often reported huge difference (as much as +100) between the Kaplan’s practice tests and actual GMAT. However, Kaplan’s tests have been overhauled since then and I do not currently have enough data to provide a better picture. They are a very reputed company and its definitely worth it to try out their free test.
Princeton Review
| – | Free | Paid |
|---|---|---|
| Number | 1 Test | NA |
| Type | Adaptive (CAT) | – |
| Closeness to real GMAT | Decent (+/- 70) | – |

| Where to find | Free Test | – |
Verdict: Worth a try. GMAT Test takers haven’t really found this test useful. Still if you are running out of options, this is worth a try.

Verdict: We are not sure if GMAT Pill free test is a standalone test or part of their course which means they will ask for your credit card to take the free test. Further review required. If you have a feedback, please send us a note.
Economist

Verdict: We have heard good things about the test. The problem is you can only access the test after your subscribe for a 7-day trial. While no credit-card is required, its not really free is it? There are no paid tests available as a separate package.
800 Score
