As they say "You perform like you
practice" and nothing can be more true on the day you sit for
that all important GMAT exam. That's why it is so critical to prepare
by using practice materials that provide you with the most accurate
test experience. CATPrep's GMAT Simulator was
designed expressly for this purpose and is currently used by students
and course instructors worldwide as the most accurate score
indicator available.
From The Desk Of: Cindy Anderson
Dear
Prospective MBA Candidate,
By the time you sit for the Graduate Management Admission Test you'll
have invested weeks in preparation and several
hundred dollars in registration fees, but if you're like most
test takers today, you
will not have taken the one action that would
benefit you the most...
It's
the craziest thing, but most test takers go in blind!
Blind
to the unique features that separate the GMAT from other exams and the reasons
that your score depends as much on your knowledge
and familiarity with the exam as it does your knowledge of
the test material!
I'm not telling
you that basic preparation isn't important. We partner with and
recommend several GMAT preparation & tutoring services for
business school candidates who desire formal instruction as they study
the math and verbal material from which GMAT questions are derived.
But, once you have a grasp of the material, it's time to
learn the GMAT itself!
Even those who are somewhat familiar with the GMAT may be surprised by
the answers to the following:
- What is the
GMAT primarily testing?
- What is the #1
obstacle for all test takers?
- How does the
GMAT scoring algorithm affect you?
- Why do they
call it a Computer Adaptive Test?
- What's
missing from other practice exams that severely impacts
those striving for a score >
80%
... read on for the answers to these
questions, how the CATPrep GMAT Simulator will help you address them
all on test day, and why other practice materials are deficient!
But
first, let me quickly introduce myself. My name is Cindy Anderson, and
I've been developing and administering testing and training programs
for almost a decade. The idea for a completely accurate GMAT
Simulator was born when several friends expressed their
frustration with the programs they used for their own GMAT preparation.
They, like many test takers, either scored poorly or chose to
cancel the scoring of their test (a strategy used to wipe a
potentially bad score from your record) on their first (sometimes
second) sitting for the GMAT.
They
all attributed their poor results to their surprise at certain
characteristics of the GMAT... these same characteristics
throw thousands of test takers off "their best game" every
year.
Now
my friends are very intelligent and were always exemplary students.
They'd prepared long and hard on all of the material the three GMAT
sections cover, but I recognized that they needed more. They
needed to prepare for the rigors of the test itself under
actual test conditions!
Practice Under Realistic Conditions
So,
I teamed up with a group of software developers from an international
technical consulting firm to deliver the most accurate
simulation of the GMAT exam available.
The exclusive features of our simulator:
- Accurate Scoring Engine
- Pool-based Randomly Distributed Questions
- Question Selection Algorithm
- Accurate Controls & Interface
- All Three GMAT Sections with New Question Types
- 400+ Original Questions
- Available on any operating system
The
GMAT is primarily testing...your endurance. You can have all
the verbal and quantitative knowledge you need, but if you can't rack
your brain under pressure for a grueling 3.5 hours, you're not going to
score well on the GMAT. Practicing with every question ETS
has ever written won't help if you can't switch gears between
subjects, work quickly, and stay focused. You need to practice under
realistic test conditions!
The
#1 obstacle of test takers is...time! Time management is
absolutely the most critical aspect of your test session. You need to
be able to use your time wisely while staring at the GMAT user
interface. When the timer starts blinking at the 5 minute mark
will you panic or will you calmly
strategize so you leave no single question unanswered? You'll
only handle it well after practicing under realistic
conditions!
The
GMAT scoring algorithm assigns more weight to the first
questions in a section as it attempts to narrow your potential to a
given range. Additionally, an unanswered question lowers your score
more than an incorrect answer. The CATPrep Simulator includes
an accurately simulated scoring engine that truly separates
it from any other practice materials available.
They call it a Computer Adaptive Test because the test
actually adapts to you based on your personal performance! Another key
feature available in our simulator is our accurate simulation
of the GMAT's question selection algorithm. Other practice
exams provide only the number of questions you will be presented on
test day, but this could never simulate a real GMAT exam! On the real
exam, your next question is chosen from a pool of thousands of
questions of varying difficulty. Here again, our software provides an
accurate simulation with over 400 questions of predetermined difficulty
that will be presented to you according to your current performance
level.
The
aspect of the GMAT that severely impacts high performers is
that it will continue to present you with harder and harder questions
until your performance begins to level out. If you're
shooting for a score above the eightieth percentile, you're
going to be continually presented with more and more difficult
questions. Only by practicing under these conditions will you
learn to accurately manage your time and endurance in a
manner conducive to achieving the highest score possible!
