GMATPrep Practice Test 1 (3rd Attempt)?

by GHong14 » Sat Nov 27, 2010 4:13 pm
So just got the day's TODO list from the [60-Day Study Guide] email. For today, the Guide wants me to take the GMAT practice test 1 for the 3rd time. I have already taken Test 1 twice at this point. I did not see too many repeat questions my second time doing the test due to the large score difference. However, I am wondering if I should take the practice test for a 3rd time and if so how many repeat questions would i see.

At this point i have only taken the GMAT practice test 2 once. Would it be more prudent for me to take test 2 for a second time?

For those of you who have taken Test 1 three times what do you guys think? Take it for a third time or do another test?

LOL... I had taken the GMAT prep test for the 9th time 2 days before my actual test and the score difference was just 20. You can take the GMAT prep as many times as you want. Just uninstall and install the software.

Really? So i should feel comfortable doing the test again. Did you see any repeat questions? If there aren't repeat why do people bother with any other practice exam by Kaplan or MGMAT?

There are repeat questions...but considering you ll be giving the test for the 3rd time, there wont be many repeats. You can definitely give the test again.

The key is to uninstall and reinstall. If you keep the same software and redo the same section you will see more repeats than if you reinstall.

In fact, I'd rather do the GMATprep 6 times than do a Kaplan or MGMAT.... Kap underestimates your score while MGMAT tends to overestimate your verbal (14 wrong will still get a decent V score on MGMAT... but 14 wrong on GMATprep will be pretty bad).
