how to proceed without resetting MGMAT

[Guest101]

Hi

I have exhausted all 6 MGMAT exams and I now want to take further exams . The system is not allowing me to do so unless i reset the pool .
However i read somewhere on the forum that one can still proceed without resetting the exams .

Please advise .

Hi Guest101,

The only way to proceed would be to reset your CAT exams. The good news is that resetting the CATs does not mean that you will lose all of the progress you have made. All of your previous score reports and Assessment Reports will be intact for you to view at a later time. Going forward, however, I would advise against taking the score you receive on exam exam too seriously. The reason is because you have already completed all of our CAT exams and have likely seen the vast majority of questions in our question pool. Hence, you'll see a few repeats in the next tests, meaning that your score will most likely skew higher since you are already familiar with some of the questions. To reset your CAT exams, just click on the option to reset them in your Student Center and you'll be good to go.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best,

Thanks Mike

However I would like to know that how many repeats per exam should one expect considering I read somewhere that MGMAT pool has around 1200 questions .

I am highly impressed with the MGMAT exams and would like to give as many exams as possible before the big day .

Please advise .

There's no way to predict a specific number, unfortunately. If you're mostly scoring in the same range, you're going to see more repeats. If you've been improving a lot such that you'd be getting a very different level of questions now, you won't see very many repeats. Most people are somewhere in between. Earlier on, you won't have as many repeats. The more you take, the more repeats you'll see.

Make sure you do this: if you do see a question you recognize, glance at the timer right away and then make yourself sit there for 2 minutes (or 1.5 for SC). Still do whatever you need to do to answer it (you might recognize it without actually remembering the right answer), but don't move on until the full time is up. Basically, you don't want the fact that you're seeing a repeat to give you an artificial boost on your timing as well.
