Has anyone tried taking more than 2 tests with GMAT prep by uninstalling and reinstalling the software? Do you see enough of new questions to make the effort worthwhile?

Thanks.

Most people see some repeats, though some people see only a few while others see a lot. Part of it depends upon how much you've improved since the last time you took it (because then you'd see more new questions).

You can still take both GMATPrep and MGMAT CATs after they start repeating as long as you follow a few guidelines to minimize the chance of artificially inflating your score via question repeats. First, anytime you see a problem that you remember (and this means: I know the answer or I'm pretty sure I remember the answer, not just "hmm, this looks familiar..."), immediately look at the timer and make yourself sit there for the full length of time for that question type. This way, you don't artificially give yourself more time than you should have. Second, think about whether you got this problem right the last time. If you did, get it right again this time. If you didn't, get it wrong again. If you *completely honestly* think that you would get it right this time around if it were a new question (even though you got it wrong last time) because you've studied that area and improved, then get it right this time.
