Hi,
I was wondering what your thoughts were on repeats with the GMAT Prep. I did the test 3 times now and I did achieve my all time highest in both areas (Q 47, V 31 - 630). On one hand, I am happy for the score gain/increase. On the other, I feel its just because I have seen repeat questions, predominantly in RC CR and PS. I did get my first Permutation question right (first time in my test taking experiences). Also, managed my time more effectively and cut my losses - wasn't as stubborn (feel that I can still improve on this). So, I will assume that given that I have seen some questions my true ability is like a 550? Is that a correct way to think about it?
Also, I have this "adaptive feeling" about the test... can anyone comment on this scenario?
First 5 questions - I get a Work problem wrong (quite simple, not THAT bad)
20 questions later - I get another work problem
towards end of exam - I get another work problem.
Essentially, I feel that that if I get wrong one type (work problem in this scenario) of question, I will probably see a harder one in the future of the test. I dont know if its me going crazy though...
Thanks for your time and thoughts.
All the best,
Jas
