The old ones are not open. We were going to phase them out and no longer provide them as the free option (the questions are better in the new system and the UI and the CAT made them a no brainier.) Is there any particular reason you wanted the old tests? Please pm me so I don't lose your point. Been getting quite a few replies here.

I would like to point out something here.
In the old gmatclub tests, we could take section tests based on topics such as number theory, combinatorics etc.
Dont you think that must be integrated in the new format as well?

Hi BB,

I just gave a Verbal Test and to my horror i kept getting CR questions continuously till i think Q.No.12
& then the RC questions started....kudos to anyone who can guess what happened next...
i got a new passage after every question.....not 3 to 4 questions following one passage..
i thought i wil end the exam but then decided to complete it...just to check hw many passages I get..
i got a total of 5-6 passages...and question frm d 1st passage came after the 5th passage...hadnt read so many passages so quickly..everr
And then the SC questions were all together..very simple ones..

I could see that the questions were from the 6 Verbal Tests..because each question had a code on top wich showed whtr it was from V02, V06 etc.
had given V01 before..so had repeat questions from that test as well...

Can you tell me why is this happening ??

I thought I would be able to get access to tests from the original Math 25...since I gave one before & it kicked my butt..
Can we get access to the old tests ??

Kindly let us know

And the new website looks awesome...I cant even begin to tell you how much I have gained from this website..
thats for later (post GMAT)

Thank you so much
Looking forward to your reply :-D

I am unable to review the test, also the pace at which questions appear on screen is very slow.

Sorry, I have been busy with the day job this morning. I will be testing and releasing the test review functionality in 1-2 hrs.
I am sorry about the delay. We were all wiped out yesterday.

YES! We are trying to add this on Thursday.
I am also thinking we will extend the tests through at least 1 more day (4 total days) to accommodate for the issues some users have experienced.

I was taking a verbal test and after 21 or so questions, it went out of the test screen saying some internal error occurred.
And i too got about 12 CR questions together, followed by 5 or 6 RC passages with one question each ... and after that questions started appearing from previous passages in some random order.

Nice upgrade! I'm having two errors—a table is not a table and the timer if off my iPad screen (admittedly, 1st Gen). I tweeted a screenshot at you...unable to post here

It is evident why these test are free for 3 days --> you're using our experience has a beta test. So far my experience has been very, very, very buggy. I have only been able to complete 1 quiz without getting an error message that ruins the test or quiz I am taking. And even the one quiz does me no good, because I am not able to review to see what I got wrong. I just spent 73 minutes taking an exam only to get to the last question and receive an "internal error"...great use of my study time...

I suppose this is great "practice", but of no real use to my studying. Hope that the bugs get worked out before you begin charging to take the exams... :evil:

Hi BB,


Wat are the new gmat club tests rules for people who had gained access to the old gmat club tests via 200 posts. Do their subscription remain active for new gmat club tests as well ? You had mentioned June 30 as the deadline in some post pertaining to this topic. Is June 30 the deadline for existing gmat club tests takers to access the new gmat club tests ? Please provide more clarity on the new gmat club tests subscription for existing test takers.



Thanks,

Abhi

It says the tests are going through the 7th but on the actual page where the tests are listed it now says the 10th. You had mentioned in a previous post of adding only a day because of the issues we were having. Can you please confirm this is correct (ending on June 10th) and not an error? My test results have still not appeared after 24 hours. Thank you!

Hello, the new interface looks great. You've done a great job. Here are a few of questions, I hope noone has asked:
- Are the questions within the free access computer adaptive or only when you purchase? I feel I read somewhere they are but after going through some I didn't feel they got progressively harder (this is the case when I would have mutlpile questions right in a row).
- How did you come up with the CAT algorithm for the questions - on your own or using a third party? I'm curious as to how close the algorithm may be either to the real gmat, kaplan, manhattan, etc.
- How do you report errors on questions? I went through some and noticed a couple of different problems: 1) a math syntax typo that did not allow me to see what the problem was asking for; 2) I encountered a verbal question even though I only chose quant questions for practice.

Thanks and great job, again.

You should be able to review your tests. that was added earlier today. Can you please check?
For any question errors/typos - please PM me - that will be the fastest way.

Thank you!

Still bugs in the tests. Test questions are not showing up correctly, the review button doesn't show the answer explanation, timer still looks off, etc. Please advise.
