Hi,
I would like to know in general how many questions in the GMAT are experimental.Does the number vary from candidate to candidate and is it dependent on how the candidate is performing during the exam.Also,are there experimental questions in GMATPREP software.

Thanks,
Shreeraj

Hello, Shreeraj! The GMAT exam uses experimental questions as part of building and renewing the question pool. GMAC does not disclose the number of experimental questions in the exam or how they are distributed. The number of experimental questions is pre-determined, does not vary from candidate to candidate and is not affected by your performance on the exam.

There are no experimental questions in GMATPrep or any other prep materials.

Good luck in your studies.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
