PoerPrep Tests - how useful are these?

by stoic74 » Fri Aug 10, 2007 1:11 pm
Hi,
Would you recommend taking the PowerPrep tests? Are they still relevant or are they very different from the GMAtPrep tests?

Thanks in advance,
Stoic

Yes, if you have these tests, Iwouldnt mind practising them...

They are still regarded as standard CATs. Go ahead. 8)

PP was written by the people who used to make the official test and include questions that once showed up on the official test, so they're good from that respect. It's not as good as GMATPrep, though, because PowerPrep used only a modified algorithm, while GMATPrep is based on the same algorithm as the official test.

So, still worth using, but GMATPrep is better.

i couldn't find the powerprep software anywhere online since it's been discontinued. Sounds like you folks do have access to it.
Can you post the pointer to the SW ?

I don't, although I think it's still floating around online somewhere. Eric? Others?

Powerprep Software

Hi,
I found the Power Prep software on the web. Please search the web for 'ppgmat30.exe'. It's about 9 MB
