Resetting the GMAT Prep Tests

Hey Brent , thanks as always! "don't think resetting the tests makes any difference" , so you mean that resetting will not have "MUCH" impact on the score approximation ? So then , I can retake the two exams as if they were brand new ?

Is there a way to see in one place the entire collection of questions on your GMATPrep test, regardless of the number of times you set or reset it?
I would like to reset it, but I am worried about losing access to the questions I have already attempted as part of the test. Kindly demystify this also.

Yes there are sets of those questions available. I don't have the links in front of me at the moment, but I guess if you search for them you can find them.

If you are having trouble finding them, send me an email and I will send you the files.

Thanks, I see. I guess then I must go outside the software, on the net, to find those. There is no way to access every single question the software carries, on the software itself, after one has re-set a test or two? Except, perhaps, by installing it afresh...

I don't believe reinstalling the software makes any difference. Questions that you have already seen can show up in tests taken after a reset.

If you are afraid of losing the questions that you have already seen you could always screenshot the questions from the test after you are finished and save them for later review. This is actually what I do with the people I tutor online so that I can see all of the questions when I am tutoring them.

But I wouldn't go searching for all of the questions from the pool because then you will really never be able to take those exams again. There are so many other resources for official questions (the 3 OGs, Question Pack 1, etc.) that you shouldn't really need to tap into that question pools in order to dig out questions.

Either way, retaking on the current software is definitely going to yield repeats so you have to take the results with a grain of salt. If you decide to go that route (and hopefully you haven't seen all of the questions from the pool by searching around on the internet) then I would suggest that you try to be realistic when you see repeat questions so as not to ruin the whole experience. If the question would have taken you 3 minutes to solve then resolve it and if you are able to do that much faster then just wait it out for 3 minutes so that you don't skew the time management aspect of the test. And if you think that you would have gotten it wrong then spend the appropriate amount of time and just pick the wrong answer so that you don't skew the algorithm.
