It really depends on your performance. Ideally, if you've run through all 6 CAT tests, your performance should be much better the second time around, which means you shouldn't see that many repeats. Also, if you haven't reviewed your CATs extensively, you may not recognize the repeats that do appear.

If you should happen across a problem you've seen before, you can work to reduce score inflation by taking the full time to answer the question. Also, if you missed the problem before, choose a wrong answer this time, too, unless you know for a fact that you would get it right this time around.

I guess the short answer is that seeing things for the second time is likely to reduce the accuracy of your score, but by this point you should have a decent sense of your ability. If you have already completed 8 or more CAT tests, you can use new exams to work on timing and problem identification, and to review areas that are still giving you trouble.

I started the first one of the tests a year ago, and was halfway in quant section. I left it there. Now, I am going to do all the MGMAT CATs but, I cannot start over. The system is only letting me to continue where I left it a year ago. I browsed the website and it says that you cannot reset them until after you complete all 6 tests. Is there really no way of starting over? Is the only option available to me registering at the website with different email?
