the only thing you can take inside is yourself and your ID.
they start you with a ten page booklet, i found 1 to be enough, but if you run out they will supply another, just throw your hand up right away. don't wait.
No suprises.

But my concern is the contradicting information I recieve with regards to the 2009 Premier Cats Online Vs. CD. Some reps say the exams are identical, some say the scoring algorithim has been updated. I am a...

Hey iridebikes thanks for the reply,
I hope you are right. On the most recent take Gmatprep test 2 I only got 2RC and 1CR incorrect, but 8/13 SC incorrect.
So my obvious issue is with SC even though when studying the official guide I have a success rate of .95.
Thank you,

so yesterday I took my last kaplan cat from the 2009 premier (online cat) and scored a miserable 600 Q38 V32.
WTF? If not a close mark to the Gmatprep I was expecting an improvement from november, but there was none.
Any ideas?

First of all, it shouldn't matter what source you're prepping from. Yes, some are "better" than others, but if you're doing practice questions the right way, they don't need to be the "best" questions in order to give you a significant benefit. More on this "right way"...

I think that a lot of us are bitten by the "I got 80% accuracy in OG" bug (and if you go through my debrief, you'll see that I was no exception). I think where most of us tend to go wrong is that we get smug with our accuracy rate in the Official Guide. What we don't take into account is ...
