About PowerPrep [#permalink] New post   22 Feb 2007, 18:11
I know that PowerPrep is an old program provided when GMAT was administered by ETS.

I didn't want to take the GMATPrep yet (my precious~~ *Golum mode*) when I still have slightly a month to the actual test so I took PP1 just to see where I stand having studied alone for about a month and half.

Well, I didn't do too badly :?
Q 49 (93%) <- stupid mistakes! arrgg... :twisted:
V 41 (93%)
Tot 740 (98%)

But I've heard that PowerPrep is easier than the actual exam. To be honest, math appeared much eaier than would be on the actual one (although I've never taken the actual exam but from questions on the forum).

For those who've taken the actual exam and PP, how closely do PP scores resemble the actual scores?

I'm guessing that GMATPrep would be a better challenge. :)

Btw, no one seems to mention Barron's as one of his studying materials??

Thanks in advance!

Just one simple question: WHERE DID YOU GET THE POWERPREP GMAT TESTS from ?!

Hard to say after only one test, no matter which one it is. I'd imagine that the Powerprep score is a bit inflated because it's a little old, but not terribly so.

The best tests to prep with are Princeton Review and GMATPrep. People do not generally recommend Barron's for the GMAT.

That's great thinking. But remember one thing, even though you are saving the GMATPrep, take the first test some 3 weeks before the exam, the second 2 weeks before and finally use the rest of your time to re-take the GMATPrep repeatedly so that you get used to the interface.
