Today I did GMATPrep 3rd time and got 760. (50,44) ( had gotten 700 and 720 in first 2 attempts)

However, I had Quant 25% repeat and Verbal 40% repeat. But I did notice that most of those that I got repeat were moderately difficult or even easy and those that I had got correct earlier too. so I see some improvement but not sure if its worth giving it 4th time.

I have read you can never overdo these...and that they help a lot...but I believe with that many repititions...its perhaps no point...

Also I am still doing lots of silly mistakes and I seriously dont think I can cross 700 in real test. That makes me worry these reptitions are unnecesarily raising my hopes.

just thought I will check if these is some wisdom out there on this issue.

I still have GMATPrep2. ...also have exam on May1. :cry:

I guess I should move on to GMATPrep2.

You can't expect an accurate guage after that many repetitions. But what you can do is get new quant questions and even the repeats as long as you work through them, they will strengthen you in those concepts.

interesting ... I just did the GMATPrep the second time over yesterday ... scores are all over the map

660-740 over 4 tries ... not satisfied at all ... hopefully by the third time I am going to be closer to 750 on a regular basis

I did make sure I spend about same time on repeat question, that I would have spent otherwise....to help as much to reduce the influence of repetitions.

I see your point though. Like I said I still did 6 silly mistakes..I should perhaps try one more time and see if I get more than 760...Can I report these to BSchools :)

I would not redo the GMATPrep tests anymore. That's a LOT of repeats and it's definitely not helpful.

Do the free Princeton Review practice test online: https://www.princetonreview.com/mba/test ... CTICE-TEST

You probably don't have time to do more than one or two tests before your GMAT, but if you do, do one of the GMATClub tests or buy the book Cracking the GMAT with the DVD. I don't think I'd take more than two tests since your test is only a few days away. Too much will make you too tired on test day.

Good luck!

Read from some debrief that people have done >3 times but i personally don't think it'll reflect your real score and it might just affect your expectations. Good luck!
