@ c23678 , pietro_lomazzi & TheGmatTutor : Would advice you to use a screen recorder utility to capture the video of the session, particularly while reviewing the answers. People on other GMAT forums have also reported issues with the exam pack. If you are on the windows platform you can download BB Flashback or similar software to record the session. Others have started taking screenshots during initial review (just to be on the safer side).

Regards,
Vivek

I think exam pack test 3 is quite difficult. Most of the verbal questions are just too strange and awkward to pick. I scored 690 in real gmat couple of weeks back and scored 660 in test 3 which is disappointing. Having scored 740,710 and 710 in veritas and kaplan test I don't think this 660 is a real indicator of my test score. In gmatprep test 2 I scored 700 so I don't think a difference of 40 points after score 690 on official test and 2 more weeks of prep it will take me down?

I haven't taken the test 4 yet and will post the results later. But test 3 verbal is bit too tough to be honest.

Even the worse bit is that I can't even review my response now in this software. How I am suppose to review the wrong answer. As I was reviewing the quant responses and I had to go away so I had to close the thing and now when I opened its not showing any responses and its just showing that i have not taken the exam at all.

Are the explanations for exam 3 and 4 readily available somewhere on the internet? else the whole idea of buying wouldn't be of use.

@Sunill

I am certain that all of the questions in Exam Pack 1 will eventually be discussed on this and GMAT Club forum over time, and that is certainly an option to consider.

Other than that I do have the video explanations to all of the quant questions in Exam Pack 1(Exam 3 and 4) as part of my course. However, it is a paid subscription. Link below:
