Additional practice tests

by DevM Sun Jan 08, 2012 3:13 pm

I've purchased Man-gmat's tests and (almost) done with it. However I'd like to write more of these, any suggestions where I purchase/download?

BTW., I read in some forums (incl. here) that the gmat's paper tests are not upto date. Is that true?

Thanks,
Dev

The paper tests were last produced in 1997 - so, no, I wouldn't study from the paper tests. :)

I've heard good things about 800Score's practice CATs. There's also GMATPrep (the official practice CAT).

By the way, you can still take CATs with repeated questions as long as you follow a few guidelines to minimize the chance of artificially inflating your score via question repeats. First, anytime you see a problem that you remember (and this means: I know the answer or I'm pretty sure I remember the answer, not just "hmm, this looks vaguely familiar..."), immediately look at the timer and make yourself sit there for the full length of time for that question type. This way, you don't artificially give yourself more time than you should have. Second, think about whether you got this problem right the last time. If you did, get it right again this time. If you didn't, get it wrong again. If you *completely honestly* think that you would get it right this time around if it were a new question (even though you got it wrong last time) because you've studied that area and improved, then get it right this time.

But if you've really memorized a bunch of the questions, then you might not want to do this.
