Using the CATPrep #GRE Test Simulator

   Our practice tests are best used when the student treats our simulated test as if it were the real test and completes every part under realistic conditions with no breaks or distractions. Our tests are not designed for practicing specific question types or for drills. Instead, they offer students the opportunity to simulate the real test and practice handling the rigors of the test experience in combination with the challenges of the questions themselves.

Tutors typically offer one or two of our GRE Practice Tests to a student to find a baseline performance level, then they design a course of study for the student. Some offer another exam mid-way through the course, but others save the remaining tests until the end of the course. Your preference will depend on your current performance level and your goals.

We typically recommend that you complete all the study and drills you intend to perform for GRE Test preparation. Afterwards, schedule time to complete our exams as if they were the real thing. If you score in your desired range, you should feel confident that you have met your goal and sit for the real GRE Test asap. If not, then address your weaknesses with more drilling or professional assistance.

We're pleased to announce that we've begun publishing short GRE Test videos to assist students in using our computer adaptive test simulator software. Our first videos demonstrate starting our GRE Test software and using it to recreate options for students with ETS approved disabilities.

#GMAT Practice Test : Customer Query

A. Borhan recently wrote us asking whether our #GMAT Practice Test Simulator software intentionally skewed scores lower. He had received lower sectional scores with our simulator relative to some other practice software he had used - despite correctly answering approximately the same percentage of questions correctly in each corresponding section.

We explained that in fact there is very little relationship between "percentage correct" and your sectional score on the GMAT. For example, if two students both get 80% correct but the first student misses questions at the end of the section while the second student misses questions at the beginning of the section - the first student will receive much higher marks.
