What do you like best about POWERPREP II?

I am not a fan of standardized tests, so I cannot say I like anything about ETS. The website is easy to navigate, provide useful information and that is pretty much it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about POWERPREP II?

It is so expensive that is almost ridiculous. For a computer-based program, they make a lot of money. When I took my GRE exam there were TWO employees working during the entire duration of my exam, and about 8 people taking the test. Paying people' salary does not justify the huge amount of money we pay for each exam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is POWERPREP II solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a mandatory standardized test to apply for grad school. I don't see any benefit in this kind of test. I wish standardized tests did not exist as it does not proof anything about a student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about POWERPREP II?

Powerprep II is produced by the creators of the GRE, so you know it is the closest experience to the actual test, both in terms of features and quality of test questions. The software comes with 2 Full Length GRE practice tests, and the questions have the same level of difficulty as the original test, so it is the perfect tool to assess your skill level and how prepared you are for the test day. Additionally, the program provides the option to time both tests (or untime them) and an onscreen calculator, so you can train yourself under timed conditions for best results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about POWERPREP II?

The program in general feels a little outdated and can become more user friendly by improving the GUI. Also, needs more tests for more practice and better results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering POWERPREP II:

Highly recommended to those planning on taking the GRE and want that extra bit of practice to do well on the test day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is POWERPREP II solving and how is that benefiting you?

The greatest benefit of Powerprep II is that it allows you to become accustomed to the pattern and style of the actual GRE, so you already know what to expect on the test day. Also, two full practice tests give you a fairly good assessment of where you stand in terms of preparation and scoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The on-screen calculator on Powerprep is very difficult to use and can be made much more easier to use.

What do you like best about POWERPREP II?

Its so easy to use and the interface is just simple clicks of a button. Also, when you have to change the course or end the section in the say the Reading section of GRE you can just click the end button and move to the next section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about POWERPREP II?

The back button is sometimes laggy and has bugs. Also, the interface looks old and primitive. It needs to be fixed and bought up to date to the current GUI standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering POWERPREP II:

Its the best and closes software to the actual; GRE exam interface and the level of questions is the same too. So it's the best software out there for it because the sample papers are made by ETS and are comparable to the actual test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is POWERPREP II solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it to practice for my GRE tests by ETS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
