Thanks DanaJ,

That helps. Actually there are two versions of GMATPrep, a 2005 version and a 2008 version. Found it on another forum. Downloaded that and took some tests.

I did a PowerPrep too. Like you said, it was quite easy.

Great score, yours :) Congrats.

How indicative is GMATPrep V1 as compared to GMATPrep V2?

Hi All,

I'd like to know if the earlier GMATPrep (V1) is as good as the current version in terms of indicating your score on the actual GMAT.

Thanks.

Thanks gmat_Tutor and sumanr,

"is descended" just doesn't sound right. But if it is idiomatic, there is nothing much to be done :)

On an other note ... what about "has descended"? Is there somthing I should be aware of while using that?
