Do you mean tests 1 and 2 in GMAT prep? If so then they are equally hard. If you are talking about Power Prep, (I'm not sure of the name) earlier version of GMAT prep. I heard it was easier than current version. I never used it so cannot say for sure.

Possibly, but that depends on your strengths and weaknesses and the randomness of the questions. If you've been preparing diligently, well, the test is just becoming easier to you.

The questions come from the same question bank, so I'm pretty sure it's random for which questions show up on which test.

If this is true, then what is the point of having 2 tests? I was under the assumption that I will not see the same questions on GMATprep2 as I saw on the first test. That would skew the score.

I don't know if it's the same bank, or two separate banks of equal difficulty, but you won't see duplicates between the two tests. Maybe the keep track of the questions you got on the first test and just keep those out of the second.

It can come from the same pool of questions, but the program will remember which ones it used for the first test.

Well..to clarify my original post, it seems like I got a lot of easy quant questions in GP1 as compared to GP2. Verbal is comparable to both.

I later tthought that maybe I got some of my initial qns wrong so the test spit out easy qns to me, but my first 13 qns were correct! My end score was similar (49Q in GP1 as compared to 50Q in GP2)..

Was just wondering if anyone else faced the similar thing..I guess not
