Revised GRE Practice Test Updates

Our revised GRE practice test software has been updated in the last 24 hours to address a few bugs and to enable a better fail-safe method of saving your progress should you decide to quit the test before completion and resume it at a later time. The update is available immediately and will be automatically loaded the next time you launch a revised GRE practice test.

About the New GRE Score Scale

July 10th, 2011

Many of you have been asking us about the scoring used by our New GRE Practice Tests for the revised General Test. So we wanted to write a quick note regarding the New GRE Score Scale and how it affects you.

It’s important to note that ETS will not be releasing any scores for the new GRE until November of this year. Only at that time will the “scoring curve” be set. Clearly, ETS intends to use the time between when they receive the first new GRE results in August and when they produce scores for those results in November to evaluate the various elements of the new format and how they will play into students’ overall scores. We expect they will provide a little guidance regarding score range percentiles and additional data at that time.

Until the “scoring curve” is set – we’ll continue to use a curve extrapolated from data gathered with the “old” GRE format to calculate revised scores in the new 130-170 point range for our practice tests. For your reference, our practice tests also provide an approximation of your scores under the “old” 200-800 score scale and will continue to do so until at least November.

Feel free to post any questions regarding this in the comments below – or reach out to us directly on facebook or twitter.

February 26th, 2011

We love helping our students meet their test day goals and really enjoy hearing feedback like the following response to our GRE customer satisfaction survey:

GMAT Practice Tests Update

February 6th, 2011

CATPrep has released a major update to their computer adaptive test offerings for the GMAT. This latest release of the CATPrep GMAT Simulator includes performance enhancements and generally improved user experience for students with Adobe’s Flash Player 10 and above. It comes complete with pools of original authentic questions, from the quantitative, verbal, and AWA sections of the GMAT. The software also features performance-based question selection algorithms, an accurate scoring engine, and the ability to run on all major computer operating systems.

CATPrep, an online educational software and services provider, today announced the immediate availability of their latest GMAT Simulator software. Created to ease post-exam review of completed simulated GMAT sessions, the new simulator software raises the bar for realistic reproductions of the computer adaptive Graduate Management Admission Test by featuring exclusive performance-based question selection algorithms that accurately simulate the real computer-based GMAT by selecting each subsequent question from a pool of questions of varying difficulty based on the current performance of the test-taker.

The new simulator distinguishes itself further by including original & authentic questions encompassing the quantitative, verbal, and Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) sections of the GMAT. The simulator’s user-interface was designed to closely resemble the true GMAT “look and feel” by replicating the controls and interface of the real exam using platform independent Adobe Flash technology which enables the Simulator to run on all major operating systems.

“Our simulator targets prospective graduate school candidates who have already completed their individual review regimens,” said Cindy Anderson, project manager, and project lead for the CATPrep GMAT Simulator. “Most of our students are seeking a comprehensive simulation of the GMAT that enables them to practice their test-taking strategies and techniques in an realistic environment. By providing feedback for various strategies and time-management techniques, our practice tests help our students achieve their maximum possible score when it matters most…the day they sit for the real exam.”
