Hi,

I have already appeared for the GMATPREP1 & POWERPREP1.
i am also going thru the OG11. When i wrote the Power Prep1, i saw 3 or 4 questions from the OG11.
I want to be as realistic on my GMAT prep & Power prep tests, but at the same time, i want to take them as close to the real exam as possible.
If I go through the whole of OG11 & the quant & verbal reviews, i am sure i will see many questions from them repeated in the CATs later. That means my CAT scores will not be a reflection of my correct ability.

My exam date is on 19 April & i am confused big time on this. Can someone help as to what should i do first. OG guides & quant and verbal supplements OR the GMAT & POWER PREP tests...

thanks
Ritz

I'd go with all :lol:
I'm sure you'll find the questions from books in GMAT Prep very rarely. Although there are a lot of them in POWER Prep.
I'd exhaust POWER Prep first while I'm still studying OG books.
& Then keep GMAT PREP for the end.

i understand what you are saying but the GMAT prep 1 that i wrote, did have some questions from the OG11.
my only worry is, i dont want to get a score of like 740 from gmat prep2, knowing i had 10-12 repeated questions.
If that is going to be the case, then i would prefer to write GMAT2 earlier so that it is a truer reflection of my ability. I can go thru the OG & supplements later.

However, if the number of repeated questions is not going to be more than 5-6, even after i have gone thru the OG11 & quant & vebal supplements, then i would hold GMATPREP2 for a later date.

I really appreciate your help but i need experienced people to guide me here.

thanks
Ritz
