Hi,
So over the past 8 weeks I've been spending 2-3 hours a day studying for my GMAT. I've used MG, Kaplan, and Official books to study. I purchased the 6 official paper exams from MBA.com and did one per night for 6 days. I got ~740 on each one.
Last night I decide to download the GMATPrep software test from the MBA.com site and do the sample test there. It was a lot harder!! Where I got usually 1-2 wrong over the entire math part on the written ones, I get ~10 wrong on GMATPrep. Obviously I get the first 4-5 questions correct and then face extremely difficult questions, which I get wrong, and which doesn't happen on the written version... but I'm having a hard time facing the psychology of going from 1 wrong to 10. What's worse, the GMATPrep gives me a #correct/#total score and not a score out of 800 so I can't even guage how good/bad my scores are.
Should I be worried that I'm performing my worse on the GMATPrep software from MBA.com than the paper tests?
Thanks
Peter
