Major platform enhancements for GRE Test and GMAT Exam Simulators

CATPrep.com is proud to announce several major platform enhancements for our GRE Test and GMAT Exam Simulators.
Our underlying software platform has been upgraded to support true formula rendering eliminating the need for conventional character-based notation for exponents, fractions, subscripts and other mathematical symbols and formula components.
The upgraded software is available immediately to both our direct customers and those interacting with our third-party rebranded offerings.

Three new GRE tests available!

CATPrep.com is proud to announce the release of three new GRE tests. With the addition of three additional GRE test question pools, we now offer six complete and comprehensive GRE test simulations.

Major Upgrade to CATPrep's Simulator platform released!

CATPrep.com is excited to announce the release of a major upgrade to our Computer Adaptive Test Simulator platform. The latest release is now available for both our GRE Test Simulator and GMAT Exam Simulator and includes the following new features:

• Completed exam sessions are now automatically saved locally as well as remotely on our servers, dramatically decreasing the possibility of losing saved exam results.
• Several updates to our question pools and adjustments to our scoring algorithm.
  
• Improved support for various browsers and operating systems.
  
• Better overall performance and accessibility of the software platform.

Customer Queries: GMAT and GRE Simulator Software

I have a couple of quick queries regarding your Simulator software:

1. Will I need to download the Java Runtime software every time I want
to take a test?

2. Do I need a different access code everytime I want to take a test? Once I
enter an access code and choose to disconnect from the internet, do
I need to immediately go online again to get the results or can I wait
for a couple of hours / days to go online and get it?

3. Can I take and re-take the tests again or can these tests be taken
only once? If I can re-take, will I come across similar questions?

4. If I start doing a test, what happens if I have to stop mid-way?
Will it continue to score me based on where I stop or can I pause and
continue the test at a later time? If it continue to score me, can I
re-take the test again?

5. Will there be any explanation to the answers or will I simply get
the scores at the end of the online tests?

Azli, thanks for the queries! I've attempted to answer them all by number here:

1. No, the Java installation is a one-time requirement.

2. You need one access code for each simulated exam session and your results will be available indefinitely. You can review them at anytime.

3. If you retake an exam using the same question pool then you will most likely see several repeat questions. Each simulated session will require a new access code.

4. If you stop mid-way, just like during the real exam, you will not receive a score and your progress will not be saved. However, your access code will not be "used" and you will be able to reuse that code.

5. Yes, the scoring and review screens will provide answers as well as explanations.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,
Rick Jones

Customer Queries: Patent Bar Simulator Software

Recently, Bob F. wrote:

Does your course offer background information about the MPEP? Do you provide a MPEP manual? How does your software compare to Patent Bar Prep courses that charge 600.00 to 2500.00 dollars?

Do I need a more extensive course in addition to your services?

We responded to Bob's queries with the following:

"Our service is intended to emulate the USPTO's computer-delivered Patent Bar exam as closely as possible. We offer a test simulator, but not a course. The need for supplementary material is unique to each student. Most students find that well over half of their actual test questions appear in our material (because we use actual test questions from previous years). If you haven't already seen it, you would probably benefit greatly from this long-running thread on intelproplaw.com
