Rhyme I would love your take on retaking the GMATPrep tests and scoring higher - do you think it is inflated because of repetition?
Howd you know I'd see this?
I cant say the same is true for you but in my case....
If I see a math problem once, the odds of me remembering it are slim. If I see a verbal problem, I'll recognize it a year later and might even be able to tell you what choice I picked last time without reading the answer choices.
So, in my case, retaking the GMATPrep more than twice was just fine for math (I rarely hit a question I remembered), but for verbal, I recognized a ton... I was therefore very very worried that my verbal scores were inflated - I was getting 44-47 consistently.
In my case, the GMATPrep did NOT inflate my scores - my real performance matched up with my GMATPrep performances. My best math score on GMATPrep was a 48, my normal range was 45-47. I scored a 45 in the real exam. My GMATPrep verbals ranged from 44-47, I scored a 45 on the verbal.
But... thats just me... I really dont know how much it affects you... how many times do you recognize the problems?
