I just took my 2nd powerprep cat yesterday and my score dropped 80 points! I felt that my time management was getting a lot better too...

Powerprep doesn't seem to "zone in" on your score like the MGMAT cats do. After getting a problem right, I don't think it gives you a more difficult one or gives you an easier one if you got the problem wrong.

Oh and I also had to start the test over because after the AWA section, the software gave an error and forced me to exit...kinda weird.

Has anyone had similar experience? I'm kinda freaking out cuz I've taken 4 tests and 3 of them were within 30 points of each other and then all of a sudden I get an 80 point drop.

i think what i was trying to ask was

do the PowerPrep tests "zone in" on your true score by giving you harder questions for answering a question correctly or by giving you easier questions when answering a question wrong?

thanks again in advance guys! :)
