Are your GMAT study materials up-to-date?
Date: September 23rd 2005
We hope your preparations for the big exam are going well and that you are using study-aids like our comprehensive GMAT Simulator, that are designed specifically for the computer-adaptive GMAT.
Most other practice material available today was written for the old paper-based GMAT. The old question types are no longer relevant and you should avoid wasting your time and money with these dated products. The easiest way to identify dated practice exams and material is through their long reading comprehension passages with more than four corresponding questions, but there are other attributes you should look for in quality GMAT products:
Does your practice material address the following?
Competing products including cheap internet downloads and even software from reputable preparation courses fail to account for changes in the GMAT and have not been updated to address the points above. Worse, most aren't adaptive and simply present the same list of questions to every test taker. If you see the same set of questions regardless of your score, you are not practicing with an accurate exam!
Our GMAT simulator is the most accurate simulation of the actual GMAT exam available anywhere and it was designed specifically to recreate the unique features of the computer-adaptive GMAT exam.
If you haven't already, we suggest you read our instructions on how to \"Verify Your Preparation Level\" using our simulator. The instructions are available on our Main GMAT page.
Launch the full-featured comprehensive version of our GMAT Simulator using any of our five completely independent original question pools by clicking this link.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to e-mail support@catprep.com. We'd be happy to hear from you!

Does your practice material address the following?
- reading comprehension passages should not exceed 350 words
- only 3 or 4 questions should correspond to each comprehension passage
- visual data interpretation, graph, and diagram questions are present
- supplies the new bold faced critical reasoning questions
- updated with tougher probability questions
- selects subsequent questions according to your current performance
