are these highly recommended? I just took 2, and they seem a lot easier than the GMATPrep software. Does anyone else share this opinion? Is there a correlation between ETS paper tests and actual gmat scores?
thx

I haven't taken them myself; other have said that they're easier than gmatprep. But they're definitely good for the extra practice. Afterall, they were at one point official questions.

Although ETS tests have easier questions, they are scaled similarly to the GMATPrep. My ETS scores were in the 30 point range from my actual GMAT test score.
I would definitely recommend ETS tests as a back-up study material to GMATPep.

Good luck!

I used the paper tests and I thought they were very helpful. I would consider them superior to any non-official GMAT materials. My scores on the paper tests were within 20-30 points of my actual results. You have to be accurate with the timing though, because allowing yourself a few extra minutes will throw off the results.

Paper Tests are good. I agree with Pelihu, make sure you time yourself........ when I first started doing then I'd let myself go over time and the like, but that skewed the results... the math is a joke, the verbal is good practise however.

Try Paper #37 under strict timing :-)

I would maybe use them for practice, but ignore the scores because 1) they're too easy now and 2) they're not adaptive computer tests, so the experience is entirely different.
