Hi,
I was wondering what your thoughts were on repeats with the GMAT Prep. I did the test 3 times now and I did achieve my all time highest in both areas (Q 47, V 31 - 630). On one hand, I am happy for the score gain/increase. On the other, I feel its just because I have seen repeat questions, predominantly in RC CR and PS. I did get my first Permutation question right (first time in my test taking experiences). Also, managed my time more effectively and cut my losses - wasn't as stubborn (feel that I can still improve on this). So, I will assume that given that I have seen some questions my true ability is like a 550? Is that a correct way to think about it?
Also, I have this "adaptive feeling" about the test... can anyone comment on this scenario?
First 5 questions - I get a Work problem wrong (quite simple, not THAT bad)
20 questions later - I get another work problem
towards end of exam - I get another work problem.
Essentially, I feel that that if I get wrong one type (work problem in this scenario) of question, I will probably see a harder one in the future of the test. I dont know if its me going crazy though...
Thanks for your time and thoughts.
All the best,
Jas

My exp with MGMAT CAT is different. In Q, I did not have a very long chain of corrects (the longest was 5). But the test kept feeding me 700+ questions since Q#4 onwards (and never fed me 500-600 level question).
In V, even after getting several wrong in the first 10, I had 9-correct-answer-long chain in Q#20-30 range and by that time I started seeing 700+ again. If their cAT algorithm is the same as gmac, then, the first few questions being very important may not hold true and one can recoup the losses by getting a long-correct-answer chain even after the first 10.

I read timetrader's post on the GMATPrep and he said that it can be take one or two extra times for practice, but there might be some overlap. I was wondering just how much over lap is there if you take both tests again for the second time and for the third time. I took the first exam before I started studying to estimate how much work I'll have to do. Now I've studied for a couple of months, and would really like to see how much I've improved and how much more work I'll have to do. However, I would like to save a test to do a week before the test. If I do the second test now and uninstall the software and then reinstall, can I do both tests over again without seeing more than 10% overlap?
