I recently finished a practice session of GMATPREP and was about to review the wrong answers. I noticed that the review didn't include explanations on how they got their answers; it only showed the correct answers without explanations. :evil:

Is this right?

Anyone? Hasn't anyone taken the GMATPrep before? The software can be downloaded from mba dot com, in case anyone wants to take a shot at it.

I didn't see any either. The tests are great, except for that one flaw.

Do the Princeton Review tests also...they're adaptive like GMATPrep but they have answer explanations. They also group the results by question type, which is nice.

Yes, GMATPrep doesnot venture any explanations.

I would suggest you try out the Math Forum in the site. Post your questions with an attachement of the question. Somebody will surely help you with the explanations.

For anybody who stumbles into this thread, the 2007 PR DVD is just a video supplement; it doesn't have any practice tests. 4 CAT exams are available online and while their good content-wise, they tend to lag sometimes on a stable broadband connection. Typically this delay is only 5 or so seconds when it happens, but it still the time still counts down. The worst I've seen is when I went to the next question and the page actually timed out. Thankfully, I was able to refresh, which reloaded the question I had just finished, but the clock was still ticking.
