Is the exam getting harder? [#permalink] New post 10 May 2010, 13:37
I have two friends who recently took the GMAT in April. Both were scoring high 500's/low 600's on GMATPrep. They prepared from the OG12 and one took a full-length Princeton Review course. However, they both wound up scoring mid-400s on the exam. Has the most recent iteration of the exam changed significantly? Are some test prep materials outdated?

i have taken the exam two times ..and i must say that the exam is definitely more difficult when compared to gmatprep software or the OG book ...but then again maybe i wasnt prepared to the level that i wanted .....the questions are much harder and the books still havent caught up to that ....so i wish sooner or later they do catch up and represent the real difficulty on gmat
