Graduate School Candidates Applaud CATPrep's GRE Simulator

Upstart Raising has released a new Computer Adaptive Test that simulates the general Graduate Record Exam. This new GRE offering is modeled after their popular GMAT exam simulation software and comes complete with pools of original authentic questions, from the quantitative, verbal, and AWA sections of the GRE. The new software features performance-based question selection algorithms, an accurate scoring engine, and the ability to run on all major computer operating systems.

(PRWEB) November 11, 2005 -- Upstart Raising, an online educational software and services provider, today announced the immediate availability of their GRE Simulator software. Created to ease post-exam review of completed simulated GRE sessions, the new simulator software raises the bar for realistic reproductions of the computer adaptive Graduate Record Examination by featuring exclusive performance-based question selection algorithms that accurately simulate the real computer-based GRE by selecting each subsequent question from a pool of questions of varying difficulty based on the current performance of the test-taker.

The new simulator distinguishes itself further by including original & authentic questions encompassing the quantitative, verbal, and Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) sections of the GRE. The simulator's user-interface was designed to closely resemble the true GRE "look and feel" by replicating the controls and interface of the real exam using platform independent Java technology which enables the Simulator to run on any computer platform that supports Java-based browsers.

"Our simulator targets prospective graduate school candidates who have already completed their individual review regimens," said Cindy Anderson, project manager, and project lead for the Upstart Raising GRE Simulator. "Most of our customers are seeking a comprehensive simulation of the GRE that enables them to practice their test-taking strategies and techniques in an realistic environment. By providing feedback for various strategies and time-management techniques, our Simulator helps our customers achieve their maximum possible score when it matters most...the day they sit for the real exam."
