GMAT Prep

by JayJay » Sat Jun 06, 2009 7:59 am
Hi guys,

I just had a very quick question. I downloaded GMAT Prep and it said there are 2 tests on it. But since the real GMAT exam pulls questions from a large pool of questions, is the GMAT Prep software doing the same? If thats true, is it worth doing those 2 GMAT Prep tests over and over until same questions start appearing?

Thanks,
Jay

Yes. Basically GMAT prep is a demo version of real GMAT. It is recommended to do this Test again and again, til you feel there is no new question on the screen :-)

GMAT Prep I has its own dedicated bin of questions, as does GMAT Prep II. So you can do them as times as you want.

If you retake the test even once you will likely see two or three repeated questions. So If you want to replicate the test environment, then you should only do the tests once.

However, repeating the tests gets you access to many more types of questions, and much more difficult questions too. So there is an advantage to retaking the test over and over.

You could do this:

1) Take GMAT Prep I and that will be an accurate indicator of what your score might be.

2) Then retake GMAT Prep I many times over and experience some of the more difficult questions. But ignore the score you get on the retakes because they are not accurate indicators of the test day experience.

3) Closer to test day, take GMAT Prep II and that will be another true indicator of your score.

Good Luck!

Hey,

PowerPrep was replaced by GMAT Prep a while ago. What "zuleron" meant by I and II was that there are 2 tests in GMAT Prep.

Hope this helps.
