Hey, don't waste your money!!You can now get the new version, v3.0 for FREE!
Just go to the official GMAT site to download it!
The big problem with this software is that most of my students get a higher score on this than on the real test, so remember that when you're preparing.
Good luck on your test!
I run a test prep service and am *very* familiar with this product.ETS (the company that makes the GMAT, GRE, and SAT) released this software soon after they switched over from the paper-based format to the current computer adaptive test.
What does this mean? Well, in a word, you are buying a beta-version of the current GMAT: the real GMAT is *much* more difficult than this test!
Many of our students can ace this test, yet they get 100 to 200 points *less* on the real test!
Why is this? Well, part of the reason is that most of the questions from this software comes from the official GMAT book and many students become familiar with that book before they take the test.
What are some other reasons?
Well, the math questions that you will get with this software are not as hard as the real ones if you are scoring pretty high (over 80%).
The reading passages on the real test are longer than the ones you will find in this program, as well.
Finally, since the GMAT is now adaptive, the order of questions is important--for example, if you excel at sentence correction and the first few questions are sentence correction, then you will get a high score. However, if you are not good at sentence correction, then your score will be abysmally low.
In short, this is the best prep available right now, but, if you can, wait for the 3.0 release in June of 2000.
Best of luck on your test!!!!!
