<p>Is PowerPrep basically the same as the GRE? Is it weighted to be easier/tougher?</p>
<p>Thanks beforehand!</p>
<p>i feel Powerprep is easier than the actual test. i got V770 Q800 on powerprep, but my verbal score was only 700 on the actual exam.</p>
<p>I thought Powerprep was essentially worthless because it was ridiculously easier than the actual test.</p>
<p>kaplan predicts scores lower than the actual test.</p>
<p>never tried powerprep - but it seems to predict better than kaplan. i've heard anecdotes of it predicting almost exactly.</p>
<p>that said - i really doubt the repeatability of the GRE to begin with. it seems on any given sitting, ur range can differ by as much as 60-70 points. so THAT may be the problem, not powerprep.</p>
<p>Heh, to back that up, my quant score differed by a full 100 points between first and second takes, with not a particularly large difference in studying. I got thrown by an early question the first time around and that was the end of my high score hopes for that take.</p>
<p>If you want easy try out the Princeton Review books. Their questions are so easy.</p>
<p>Power Prep is pretty much right on if you consider the margin of error in the GRE test. I took it twice one month apart. I studied for the first test and did nothing before the second but play Brain Age on the DS. My score was 250 points higher the second time. Was it the DS? Or, was it simply that the GRE is generally inconsistent?</p>
<p>Kaplan is far too hard. PP is a little bit too easy - I don't think I've ever heard of someone doing worse than their PP scores (they were bang on in my case).</p>
<p>GRE, like most tests, get easier the more you do them, and this also explains quite a bit since PP is so similar in style to the real thing.</p>
