Yes, I see that most of the people who have reviewed this disagree with me. That is partly because I have not looked at the materials (it was the idea of an old test that attracted my attention). I downloaded it about twelve hours ago, believing that it would be an actual version of a real test. What I have appears authentic but may end up being useless if it is just
OG questions. Anyway I appreciated the warning about copyright laws, which is why I was particularly cautious when talking about specific content (easy to do when I haven't answered but five or so questions). I would like to apologize for endorsing a product that others do not hold in high esteem. It was the idea of having an old test with explicit scoring information that I found attractive. I will look at it more carefully and give a more thorough review so that I can be more helpful. That is of course unless everyone already knows about this product and does not need an outdated second opinion. In addition, what I said about believing it to be a decent indicator would certainly not apply if these were questions pooled from the easy section of
OG.
No problem with endorsing - no product is ideal for everyone and vice versa. In addition, one person cannot give an objective opinion about the item; there will always be people who liked/disliked the product and only after so many of them can one make up his/her mind. I do attempt to encourage as much diversity and as much alternative opinions as possible. I personally try to go against the orhodox solution/opinion simply becasue the general opinion is not necessarily right for me. That was one of the reason I ignored the rankings of the Bschools, which was not super-smart, I have to admit.
Your idea is obviously good to get the tests and work on the ORIGINAL questions rather than those of Kaplan or Princeton, but it seems ETS/GMAC decided to make it not as good as it should have been.
