2. Almost all of the questions are new and were never released before
3. Computer based practice
4. Includes explanations similar to

5. Statistics available to track your progress
6. Good ROI for $30
Weaknesses1. Relatively more quant questions are available in the QPack 1 than the verbal questions. If you take a typical exam as a reference, there are 5.4 times the number of questions available in a typical GMAT exam (200 vs 37). On the other hand, the verbal questions are 4.4 times a typical exam (180 vs 41). If you consider the extraneous questions bundled with the passages, the difference will be even higher.
2. Although it was claimed to contain new and unseen questions, it does contain few questions that were released before or were available online.
3. The progress statistics is limited to last 6 sessions. Any practice before that will not be shown in the progress tracker.

Detailed Review HereGMAT® Paper Tests - $29.99Strengths and Weaknesses1. The paper test starts with easier questions and level of difficulty increases as you reach the end (This is applicable to each section separately) .
2. For PS, there were two sections (with 16 questions in each). One was little difficult as compared to the other, with focusing more on word problems.
3. Quant was easy as compared to CAT tests (except for the last few questions in each section).
4. Negative marking of 0.25 points for each incorrectly attempted question. For each correct one, you get 1 point. No -ve or +ve marking for un-attempted question.
5. It seems, paper format stresses more on Time, rather than difficulty (As in verbal we have 80 mins for 61 questions and Quant 75 mins for 52 questions)
6. Although answer key has been provided, but explanation for answers is not available
.
7. Few questions overlapping with OG11, though number of overlapping questions is very less.
