3 weeks to the G-day, where to find the hardest problems?

by mleviko » Mon Mar 31, 2008 7:38 am
Hi guys,

I've rescheduled my test day to April 22nd, leaving me roughly 3 weeks to study. I've been hitting at about 85% at all the question types from OG11 recently, and was trying to find some harder questions but not getting too far from the real GMAT difficulty.

Do you know any book /online resource that has the hardest questions available? (+explanations ofcourse)

Thanks a lot and good luck to us all

I've reviewed so far: PR 2008, OG11 + verbal + quant (not all questions yet), Kaplan 2008 and currently starting Kaplan 800.

practice CAT scores:
* GMATPrep1 #1 570 34Q 35V
* GMATPrep2 #1 650 40Q 39V
* PowerPREP #1 640 47Q 31V
* GMATPrep1 #2 660 45Q 35V
* GMATPrep1 #3 690 47Q 38V
* GMATPrep2 #2 710 47Q 41V

mleviko,

I have a question for you. I've seen a number of people on this site, including you, who have taken the same GMATPrep exam more than once. Don't you get some repeating questions? I have been practicing with PR and Kaplan, and would much rather practice with the real thing. Until now I thought that there were only two exams that can be taken twice. Let me know, I would really appreciate it.

Hi AleksandrM,

To answer your question: first, you have four different official tests (2 GMATPrep and 2 PowerPrep still available for download, google it). Second, the only test I've taken more than twice so far is GMATPrep1, and even in it I've seen only few repeats (IMO less than 5 in the entire test). The question pool for each test is quite big, and the added value of taking an exam in the exact format and with a similar algorithm for scoring is very important, in my opinion, so I think it's still very helpful even if you encounter a few repeats.

Cheers

Hi,

How reliable is the PowerPrep. From my understanding it is an older version and includes older questions. How reliable do you find these tests?
