New Shorter GMAT Prep: An upgrade or replacement? [#permalink] New post   24 Apr 2018, 17:30
Does anyone know if the new shorter GMATPrep software will upgrade on top of the already downloaded software that I have?

I already took GMATPrep #1 test and I have #2 to do now. But if the new version comes out, I don't want to "reset" my questions (assuming that the new version doesn't recognize any of the questions that I had already finished in the past.

Does anyone know if the new software will just "update" the previous download I have, so that I don't have to lose my data?

No. We don’t. We can only guess and speculate until the 27th.

PS. The new gmat prep may be online. Just FYI. If you were not worried enough already :-)

I'm not sure about this time, but earlier versions definitely preserved any existing testing data. My guess is that once you install the new version, your earlier attempts will not be lost, but any new attempts (exam packs or default pack reset) will be as per the new format.

They're planning to keep the software version for at least a year so that test takers have an alternative. I'm sure there will be at least a few bugs and server problems in the online version, especially right after launch.

I hope they do it gently too... we’ll know soon enough. If they don’t do it gently, I would recommend not upgrading gmat prep until AFTER you take test #2.


At the same time, do you remember the OG 2018 transition to the new platform last year? Nothing was saved or migrated :(
