Need Info Regarding Manttan CAT Exams Course

by sayak636 Mon Jun 08, 2009 12:03 am

Hi,

I am planning to buy the Online Test Package (6 Exams) from Manhattan.

I have already taken the free test and got 680.

I wanted to know whether the essays will be graded by the Manhattan Instructors for the other 5 exams (Paid Exams).

I have booked my GMAT date on July 8th. So its kind of urgent. Please reply

Regds,

The essays will not be graded by anyone from MGMAT, no. Only the multiple choice portion will be graded.

FYI on two things:
1) The official test writers offer a service called GMAT Write (http://www.mba.com/mba/store/ProductInfo?SKU=1623X). The essays you submit will be graded by the same software used to grade essays on the official test, and you also receive feedback on how to improve your essays.

2) It is cheaper to buy one MGMAT book (which gives you access to the 6 tests) than to buy the 6 tests alone. The only drawback is that you have to wait for the book to arrive in order to log in and start using the tests - though, if you live near a bookstore that sells our books, you can buy the book physically at a store and start to use the tests right away.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I live in India and I have booked my GMAT slot for July 8th.

Please let me know whether I can buy the MGMAT books anywhere in India.

As I do not have much time, I am opting for the Online Exam course.
