Gmat prep is a free software provided at the official site mba.com.

Here I have done some multiple experiment to find out some answers to the myth about gmat that I have found on the Internet.Hope it can be useful to the needy one's.

Question No.1:What is the Importance of the first 10 Question(Alone) ?
Experiment No.10:First 10 Question & 1 from remaining Correct,Other all Incorrect...
Result Out of 60:(06/60)Quant,(06/60) Verbal.
Conclusion :First 10 Alone are not of so Importance for score..

Question No.2:What is the Importance of the Last 10 Question(Alone) ?
Experiment No.09:Last 10 Question & 2 from remaining Correct,Other all Incorrect...
Result Out of 60:(11/60)Quant,(11/60) Verbal.
Conclusion :Last 10 Alone are a bit more Important if we count them alone.

Question No.3:What if we get every consecutive even Question INCORRECT ?
Experiment No.11:Every even consecutive Question is Incorrect...
Result Out of 60:(23/60)Quant,(21/60) Verbal,(390/800) Overall.
Conclusion :Overall Score remains low

Question No.4:What if we get 25% of Question Incorrect and all the Incorrect Question are in the middle section ?
Experiment No.13:25% of all Question are Incorrect? (IN MIDDLE)
Result Out of 60:(49/60)Quant,(35/60) Verbal...
Conclusion :Score can go above 700...


OVERALL CONCLUSION

*Quant:GO FOR SPEED.

Be fast in calculation,accuracy is not a problem in the Quant but if your fast in solving problem then you can get a high score even with high number of Incorrect question.

For more Info compare Experiment NO.14 and No.18 from Quant section in Excel

provided.

*Verbal:GO FOR ACCURACY

->Be accurate in solving question because the more you get right answers more would be your score in verbal.

Ps:Notes
->All the Conclusion and Experiment may not be same for all.
->I just wanne share my Experience and Experiment with all.
->This GMATPrep Software is Old Version(14.0.0.162 version) in which IR is not Included
