Hi all

I have downloaded GMAT Prep once on 8-Aug-2018 and again on 09-Sep-2018 installed them, but for the both time it supports the old Format of Q37 V41 questions.
From where i can use GMAT Prep with new Shorter Format?

Thanks and Regards

Sajjad

There is no downloadable version that supports shorter format. Only the ONLINE GMAT Prep supports the shorter test format.
P.S. Were you able to activate the GMAT prep Software you downloaded? I just tried installing 2.5.3 again and it installed but it won't activate - I get an error message (below). I am wondering how you have been able to install and activate them without the error message I keep getting....

The only versions of GMAT Prep that I found works is the one from 2012. https://gmatclub.com/forum/how-to-downl ... 75394.html

Thanks for kind response

Both of the time i was able to download GMAT prep 2.5.32 and its working nicely, no error at all, i have taken a Test (Only Quant) today (12-sep-2018)

Screen shots are attached

Edit: I have tried to take the CAT Online but wasn't able to. By clicking on the Button (to take the Test) i receive no response from the server of mba.com. i have tried 2-3 times but the same no response, so i switched to Offline Test.

Regards

Sajjad

I wonder if you did not have to activate the Software since you had a previous version activated or for another reason. I am still not able to activate my version. Not sure if anyone else has been able to run the old GMAT Prep and successfully bypass installation/activation?

SajjadAhmad - can you activate GMAT EP's and QP's?
Like this one: Activation Code: 303200-188406-128305 or this one: Activation Code: 303200-186946-469761 for EP1

Hi bb,

I am still using the old software for QP 1 and EPs 1 and 2. They are working just fine. I had already activated them long time a ago though.

Thx. That makes sense. The question here is - can you activate the EP and QP now.... which I can't do either. I get the activation error message with my software.

Hi bb,

You are right. I tried installing the GMATPREP software on other devises. I received the same error message. Even the old 2012 version was showing SQL error. Guess it is very difficult (or impossible) to use the old software if you download them now. For people who have downloaded it before there seems to be no problem (at least for now).
