Weird results in Powerprep

by debohaldar » Sat Jun 14, 2008 6:32 pm
Hi Folks,

I took the GMATPrep test last weekend and scored a 680. I think it was pretty good indicator of my prep level so far as this was the first timed test I've taken since completing the OG.

However, I took the powerprep test 1 this morning and scored a 760, not to mention the quant questions were quite a bit easier - I dunno whether it was because of all the Kaplan800 GMAT pactice I did over the week or Powerprep is just plain non representative of actual GMAt.

Comments / thoughts ?

Thanks,
Deb.

The Powerprep tests are kind of old and they weren't truly adaptive, so they're not as accurate a predictor of your score. Quant definitely got harder after Powerprep was abandoned, from what I hear.
