Expert' Explanations of ALL the GRE PowerPrep Questions
- Explanations of every PowerPrep question
- Discover all questions in the test (you only see a third of them) so this list provides more opportunities to practice if you have taken PowerPrep already
- Use the detailed question explanations to sharpen your quant and verbal skills
- Links for Test 1 questions (including easy, medium, and hard sections)
- Links for Test 2 questions (including easy, medium, and hard sections)
The 2 PowerPrep Tests are the most valuable tests. You should cherish them! These tests can give you the most accurate estimate of your score and can save you from burning and crashing on the test day. However, there is one major issue with the PowerPrep - there are absolutely no explanations. You only see the correct answer and that's it. This topic is here to help you find expert explanations for all of the PowerPrep test questions. Whether you got them right or wrong, we highly encourage you to review explanations to learn new strategies, techniques, and shortcuts! But do not use these links until AFTER you have taken the tests!
PowerPrep Versions available:
- PowerPrep Online at ets.org - official online and latest version. Recommended!
- Downloadable version - official offline software (transitioned to online in 2018)
(Both the online and downloadable versions have the same question banks and identical questions.)

SCORING INFORMATION AND HOW TO MAXIMIZE YOUR PREP
The way that the GRE Test works is that the difficulty of your second section on the test depends on your performance on the first section. If you do well in Quant for example, your second quant section is harder and if you don't, then it is easier. There are 3 possible scnarios depending on the number of mistakes:
- Step 1: Find your second section by looking at the number of mistakes you made in the first section
- 0-6 correct - Easy
- 7-14 correct - Medium
- 15-20 correct - Hard
- STEP 2: Identify the section that you should review (that's the one you attempted)
- STEP 3: Attempt the other 2 sections. E.g. if you got Medium on the test, then you can also attempt Easy and Hard sections later on. Make sure to time yourself!

This is a super-useful thread--thanks for assembling, Carcass!
Is GRE Prep Club going to add explanations to the questions from the 2 new paid PowerPrep Plus Online tests as well? I would be happy to contribute to that project.
If you would prefer a professionally printed guide to the PowerPrep tests that I co-authored, with detailed explanations to all 320 questions, then go here.
The download link to the old PowerPrep software is helpful, too--since the PowerPrep Online tests aren't always functional. I have the old Mac versions of the software, if anyone is interested.

The first thing to check out is the version of free powerprep online has the same question of the .exe you downloaded until a few months ago.
Then, we are going to eviscerate the paid version.
Thank you so much

Sounds good! As far as I can tell, the free GRE PowerPrep Online tests are exactly the same questions as the old GRE PowerPrep 2 software.
EDIT: 3 Reading Comprehension questions were switched out. Otherwise they are exactly the same.

Never mind, excellent stuff here already, if we could review our workbook of questions and mistakes and understand these 2 power prep tests, it would be sufficient to get good score. Thank you very much to all the mods of GRE Club for helping us with sincerity.

Has GREPrepClub done the same for the two paper based tests, found in the OG GRE book? Would appreciate the links for the same.
As always, thanks for taking out the time to do this!

Quant is slightly below the average but verbal is way behind acceptable. Moreover, every score must seen in light of your purpose. Could be even enough.
Please provide further information so we can give you help such as if you do have an error log, which is your strong area and so forth.
BTW, post on a single discussion under main section, this is reserved to powerprep collection NOT advice.
