GMAT Prep & Power Prep Official Free GMAT Tests

Hello everyone,

I took the earlier version of the GMATprep test last night and got a 760 (q49 v45). I did recognize a couple of verbal questions from the OG but i still had to rethink the answer, so I don't think my score was inflated in that way. However, do you guys think the scoring algorithm and the general difficulty of the earlier version is the same as the current version of GMATprep and the real thing?

I'm only asking this because I keep getting 690-700 on my MGMAT CATs and I'm struggling with the quant (43-47 so far). I know that MGMAT is supposed to be harder but I just want to make sure I'm not inflating my confidence here.

I've also been reading on the forums that the real GMAT is getting harder than it used to be (not talking about deflated percentiles, talking about actual difficulty of questions) so that got me worried.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone discussed the grading between the two? I understand that GMATPrep itself uses the same algorithm to calculate a score as the real deal, but for some reason, my GMATPrep1 score just seems to be lower than my GMATPrep 2 scores, for several times now. Anyone has the same issue?

Hi All,

I'd like to know if the earlier GMATPrep (V1) is as good as the current version in terms of indicating your score on the actual GMAT.

Thanks.

I've found some overlap between the questions I got in GmatPrep2 and questions from OG12

Can you please post the OG 12 question number? or at least the text (we can find it)
(this is not supposed to happen)

I also got Q61 (Gmat Prep1), Q83 (Gmat Prep2) repeat.

Thanks Guys!
I guess we should put a list together of questions that overlap between GMAT Prep and OG 12.

P.S. There is definitely overlap with PowerPrep, so just to make sure this is GMAT Prep only.

Are there two tests in each of the versions of the GMATPrep you have for download? Thanks!

Could someone please explain the different between GMAT Prep v 2005 and v 2006?
Are the questions all different for both the quant and verbal sections?
when one downloads from the mba.com web site these days, does one get the 2006 version?
thx.

any one know if gmat prep 2005 has diff question bank than gmat prep 2006? thx

guys, i tried installing the 2005 version but it didnt install
anyone have the same prob?
any remedy or way arnd it?

hello there,

This is my first post on this forum.

I have recently installed the GMAT powerprep software in my windows7 OS laptop, unfortunately I didnt get my score after completing the first test.

Any ideas..

I just did the GMAT Prep test. As other posters noted above, there were quite a few questions repeated from the OG (both SC and CR).

Anyway, I have a question about the AWA. I diligently did both my essays, knowing that they won't be graded, because I wanted to practice writing those essays in the time allocated and I was hoping to later copy the answers to this forum to get feedback. However, there seems to be no way I can go back and copy my essays. Does anyone know if there is a way to do so?

Thanks for the note everyone - I have started an official thread about the subject: gmat-prep-question-overlap-with-official-guide-12-master-96120.html
