GMAC Practice Test

Question

Hello,

I downloaded the GMAC software and have taken the two practice tests. From what I have gathered from various forums, it is advisable to repeat those tests since there is a last pool of questions.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing the GMAC software on my laptop (I use MAC). However, the re-installed version shows the scores from my previous two tests.

Does anyone know how I could re-install the GMAC software on MAC and get the two fresh tests?

Please help.

Thanks

Hi  Starpeople  
Possibly you have re-installed from the same copy that you downloaded earlier. That's why the App has kept your score remembered.

You better try opening a new account at mba.com and make a fresh download. Hope this new installation will work.

Thanks Musunna,

I did try and use a fresh account. Still shows me the old score!

What can be done?

The software could be using a folder within your "local data" storage (applicable to Windows, but there should be an equivalent storage area for Macs). Delete the information there and your GMATPrep should not show any tests you've already taken (you might need to reinstall GMATPrep).

But why are you going to all this trouble? The reset feature does the same thing, and reinstalling the GMATPrep software won't suddenly make a significant number of new questions available to you.

Thanks Ajitesh,

I am not able to figure out an equivalent of local data storage.

How to I use the reset feature? Will this help me take both tests fresh?

Can you see a folder for GMATPrep within ".local"? About the reset option: it'll tell the software to "forget" which questions have been shown to you. This is what you are trying to do with the reinstall. It's  not particularly useful   unless  someone else is taking those practice tests or you are getting back to testing after quite some time.

It has been a while since I took those tests, which is why, want to retake.

Can't find a .local folder on my MAC. Also, don't know where to look for the reset option. This is on the GMATPrep software?

Thanks
