GMATPrep query

by the_silver_lining » Sat Oct 13, 2012 11:27 pm
If i read the GMATPrep questions posted at beatthegmat, gmatclub or the ones in ron's videos, will they in any way skew my GMAT Prep score? Can i see the repeated questions on the practice test?
I havent taken any of the tests and i wanted to know this before i start reading the explanations of the GMATprep questions.

If you spend any time in the BTG forums, you will inevitably see questions that are on the GMATPrep tests. However, this shouldn't stop you from participating in the forums. Here, you'll learn a lot of great strategies for tackling a wide range of questions.

Of course this means that you may see the occasional repeated question on your GMATPrep practice tests, but you can prevent your score from being skewed by answering the question to the best of your ability AND ensuring that about 2 minutes have elapsed before entering your answer. If you answer the question quickly, then you'll gain undeserved testing time that will, indeed, skew your score.

Cheers,
Brent
