Well the reason I don't find it necessary to check my answers in the gmat prep is because when you do, it doesn't explain the answers to you. I'm fairly knowledgeable about what I struggle with and if a question seems uncertain I write down the type of it "properties of numbers, exponents..." etc.
I have something like 169 questions in the official guide along with a lot of math review I can use to study from. There's only 37 questions on the quantitative gmat prep test. So knowing I got one wrong won't tell me what I did wrong to calculate it. It just lets me know I got it wrong.
I don't want to be tempted to memorize the answer the next time I see it on the gmat prep test.
Are princeton tests expensive?

I disagree with your approach, Tim. I think that it is critical to review your answers to GMATPrep tests. If you are uncertain about your mistakes, share them here so we can help you figure them out.Tim7332 wrote:Well the reason I don't find it necessary to check my answers in the gmat prep is because when you do, it doesn't explain the answers to you.

These GMAT concepts are tested over and over again, and it's possible that questions you see on the actual GMAT can be similar to what you observed in GMATPrep. It pays to understand GMATPrep questions and OG questions inside out--I think it's the most important part of preparing for the GMAT.
Best of luck!
