Powerprep Software [#permalink] New post   31 Oct 2004, 00:49
Hi,

I have been working through all the problems in the "The Official Guide for the GMAT Review" book (10th edition) and, having finished almost all the questions, I just read on the back of the book that the problems it contains are duplicates of the problems contained in the Powerprep Software (verison 3.0). GIven that the Powerprep software is the only computer adaptive test that I know of that usues real ETS questions, I was saving these 2 tests until just before I am ready to take th exam so that I can get an accurate idea of my performance. Now, of course, it is a waste of my time to take the Powerprep 3.0 tests because I will have seen all the questions. This is very frustrating! Does any one know if there are earlier versions of the powerprep software available (i.e. earlier than 3.0) which might contain different questions or if there are any other computer adaptive tests on the market that use ETS questions? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your help!

I would still recommend you taking the powerprep tests.
1.Your results will outline how well you had gone through your OG
2. You can have a good feel of the type of questions (interms of difficulty) that pop up on the screen depending on how you are doing.
3. In all fairness you can expect a similar rhythm of difficulty in your actual test

Surprisingly I havent heard anyone getting 800/800 in the PP - Why is that? - especially when they have gone through those questions(most if not all). Take it - its worth it! oops. I sound like a cheap ad. :wink:

I exactly had the same question as achuard after finishing OG. But Venksune has a point though...! Why no one gets 800/800 in Powerprep even after completing OG? Is it because of the density of OG? :?:

Agreed, you should still do the PP tests. The more exposure to the GMAT CAT, the better. I would also get Cracking the GMAT - the CD has four tests and access to another one online, and they're the best tests outside of Powerprep. The explanations are awesome. I consider this book a must for the GMAT.

ashokkk, almost no one gets 800 on practice tests or the real GMAT. It's extremely hard to do, just like it's hard to get a perfect SAT, LSAT or GRE. Just the way it is!
