Yes the question are easier, but they have experimental questions too like the real GMAT. The new 2005 CD is much improved such as:
- No more RC repetitions.
- Bold questions for CR
- More probabilities and Perm and Com questions,
The Math questions and the verbal are easy and they are designed in a way that you feel that you are doing the real GMAT. Now, i am not sure about the score accuracy... I was getting 37, 37. 38 and 44 in Math and my real GMAT quant score in August was 44. I beleive that the PR writers lower the quantitive score in order to make you beleive that you will score higher on the real test. I think the 2005 version is much improved than the 2004 one, and give you the sense of an adaptive test, but still I do not trust the scores....
It's a great news. If they fixed repititions then PR worths practicing. Do they improved answer explanations? I used 2004 version and found explanations to be unsatisfactory. For instance, assume a detail question from RC passage. The explanation just refers to the text without providing any information why specific answer is correct and others aren't.
By the way, seeing that improvements occurred I'd like to see 2005 version as well. Does anybody know where I can download cd?
