So - I just took another GMATPrep Cat, and scored a 700 (Q44/V42) - which at first I was happy about but now when reviewing my questions - some questions in the review mode are not the same as the questions I took! Is this software buggy?? I don't understand what is going on...

Okay in my quant section - from #20 on are not the questions I took - and it says I got 20 wrong.
And my entire verbal section is not the test I took. In fact, my verbal section it says I scored a a 42, but says I got 32 incorrect! hahahaha ok I KNOW I didn't get 32 incorrect so I am pretty sure my verbal score is more toward the right score HOWEVER - This REALLY sucks I can't review my wrong answers!!!

I wonder why everyone swears by the GMATPrep CATs when obviously there are major bugs in the program? I'm going to contact the company about this problem.

Does the newer one come with new questions ? I still use the older one, but will move to the newer one if it can provide me with variety.

i downloaded the latest version today and did the gmatprep again. my last 4 verbal questions were "swapped" with different questions, but AFTER the second time i reviewed the answers (i.e exiting the test and re-entering it).

very annoying...

I've noticed it being slow, especially when generating the final scores...I wonder if its scoring capability is screwed up as well?

Jlola21,

Were you able to get in contact with them?? What did they say - yes, this is very annoying..

Does this only happen once you exit? So, as long as you take the test in one setting, it should be OK?

They didn't offer any solutions over the phone. I wrote them an email today so hopefully they will address it soon.

No - it happens before exiting, and after re-entering, I honestly wouldn't use it until they fix it.
