After I took my first GMAT Prep Exam I clicked on reset after reviewing my answers.

I took the first GMAT Prep Exam again hoping it would be the same questions but the Quant and Verbal were completely different.

Does this mean you can reset as many times as you want and you will get different exams each time? (Therefore more than 2 GMAT Prep exam)

Apologies if this is a dumb question.

Thanks

The GMATPrep tests are adaptive. The two tests each have a separate question bank. So there are no repeats between the two tests. However, when you reset a test you will be going back into that same question bank.

If you perform very differently, for example, much better on the test the second time, then you will likely get very different questions. However, most people do see some repeats when they retake. Still it is worth retaking each test 3 times each or so. That gives you a total of up to 6 tests from that GMATPrep software. (And of course the optional add-on prep pack gives you lots more questions is not any more actual "tests.")

And, no this is not a dumb question!

If you're interested, I wrote an article for BTG on the topic of taking the GMATPrep practice tests multiple times: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2010/03/ ... iple-times

"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."
