Hello Fellow GMATers,
I wanted to post on this topic since a long time: I was trying to figure out a better solution for optimum utilization of GMAT Prep software. You may be aware that GMAT Prep has a directory of questions and we see a portion of it when attempting the two tests. Once done with the two tests - I wanted to further get through the remaining questions - but preferably in exam mode using GMAT Prep software. One solution is to erase the software and re upload it. But, I did not wanted to go that route - as I wanted to save my previous attempts - to review my mistakes, timings, etc. in future as well.
A great and easy solution that I came up with was creating a new user profile in my computer. You can do that in Mac or Windows, just create a new user profile. And, upload your software there. This way - you would keep your old results intact and can attempt new tests in GMAT Prep software. Usually, you would see new questions in the new attempts (as have I)- because as you attempt the previously seen questions, if you got them wrong the first time - the probability that you will get them right the second time is more, and then test automatically takes you to the next level.
One tip - I did not review the first two attempts on GMAT Prep. Since I planned to further attempt GMAT Prep tests with the new user profile.
If you need any help in figuring out how to create new user profile - please post your questions.
thanks!!

Hi sa2222,
While you have a nice work-around for this software, you have to remember that answering lots of Official questions is not necessarily the same thing as properly training for the GMAT (by learning/practicing Tactics, honing your skills, learning all of the little 'secrets' behind the GMAT, etc.). Some Test Takers think that a volume-focused approach is the key to scoring at a high level on this Test, but that's really not the case. If you continue to answer questions (even lots of questions) in the same ways, then you will likely end up with the same general score. To improve, you have to train and eliminate your 'bad habits.'
