Official software - has some bugs

I have noticed several posts on this board and others, where there is some issue with the Official software.

My software crashed after I took the second full GMAT practice test and I wasn't able to recover the results of the test even with the GMAC's help center.

I would just reinstall the program; although, you might have to set up your anti virus program to ignore the GMAT prep software.

the problem is that my antivirus (AVG) is telling me that there's a trojan everytime i try to load the theory parts.

i dont think it a false positive, i really think the software is virused

Uninstall AVG and GMATPrep will work all FINE. Been there, don't that kind of a thing.

"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."
