Spend an extra 20 minutes after the GMAT and get goodies? [#permalink]
 26 May 2011, 12:37
So a few days ago I booked my GMAT retake date (25 July 2011) and while finishing up the payment I was informed that I need to consent to some sort of a survey (20-30 minutes long) and questions that I need to fill out after the exam but before the scores were shown (I think). They also specifically stated that if I take the effort to answer the questions I stand to receive some really cool goodies. I believe this is only between the months of July - Sep 2011. Anyone know anything about this?

Yes, this is in preparation for the new section that will be released in 2012. They have been doing some sampling to help them with grading/preparing for the new section. More here: gmat-test-prep-changes-on-the-way-in-99691.htmland here: when-to-take-gmat-98680.html

Awesome! Its nice to know that my inputs are going to make a (tiny tiny) contribution to how the GMAT will look in the future! Do you have any ideas about what the goodies are? Are the goodies worth the wait?

I just heard back and the word is that they actually don't know - the goodies will be revealed in a few weeks. So.... I guess we will all just to wait. Bummer.

So for the sure this extra part will be at the end? I take my GMAT in a few days and I think it would suck to sit through 30 minutes of this and then 1 hour of AWA. Somebody please confirm. I remember reading about this but I'm not sure if its at beginning or end. Also, the goodies are you get $20 refund or, if you're real lucky, get full refund.

They sent me the same thing. I hope these extra set of questions are going to appear at the end? In which case, do you guys really think you will have any motivation left to complete that set?
