Awesome dude... I'll update mine. Hey... One more time, can you confirm that the interactive MGMAT SC book comes with the 6 MGMAT practice test access?

Thanks for you words!
1) Yes, you can transfer data from iPhone to iPad. It's a bit inconvenient but we are working on more seamless synchronization. Here are steps you should do: iPhone: - OG Tracker > Export/Import (the button in the top-right corner) > Backup - Practice > Filter > Export/Import (the button in the top-right corner near "+") > Backup both backups will open email app with data that you can send to yourself.
iPad: - open email app > open email with data > copy all; open GMAT ToolKit > OG Tracker > Export/Import (the button in the top-right corner) > Clipboard - open email app > open email with data > copy all; open GMAT ToolKit > Practice > Filter > Export/Import (the button in the top-right corner near "+") > Clipboard
2) Can you export data from MGMAT OG Tracker in txt xls or other common formats? If yes, send me those files and I send you back data that can be imported in the app.
3) It's a good idea, let me discuss it with bb.
Please let me know if you have any other questions/suggestions.

Not yet. We are still looking for a good Android developer to finish our first app. Today's question is rather when we are going to release Android app than whether we are going to release it or not.

We are updating our youtube videos and here is the first new one: (Practice)
I would like to thank to my friend and Chicago Booth classmate Lev for his excellent narrator skills. By the way he got 780 GMAT score and speaks 7 languages fluently!

Thanks!
That's a great idea! We are now negotiating with admission consulting companies over their participation in MBA ToolKit app. When we get our first partner, we will be ready to consider adding books more related to essays and general admission process.

Hey Walker,
thanks for the swift reply. I have tried the suggested approach to syncing, but no luck so far. I got stuck when I tried to copy all the contents of the mailed data and then clicked clipboard in the import page app (nothing happens). Maybe the problem is I downloaded additional practice questions for my iPhone and haven't done so on the iPad yet. Will try and let you know.
It is not a big deal anyway, was mostly curious (can always redo some of the questions, can't really hurt, right? ). Regarding the export of data from MGMAT's OG tracker I will try and email their tech support (they do not have the export option within their webpage).
One thing that I think might help people like me would be a comprehensive FAQ (sorry if it exists, have been really busy lately) that could perhaps be accessible from the app - or some other form of "tech support". And definitely the seamless sync (as in a proper sync - combining data from iPhone and iPad apps). Will let you know in case I come up with anything else.
O.
I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to transfer my stats from one Ipad to another (since I changed to Ipad 2), but nothing happens when I click the "Clipboard" button. I also downloaded some extra questions in the first Ipad. Is there a solution for this issue?

Hi Jose,
Yes, there is a problem with export/import functionality in 1.6.7. We are going to submit 1.6.8 update in a few days that fixes the problem. Fortunately, there is a way to make it work. Copy your data to any text processing program and substitute all [1] to A, [2] to B, [3] to C, [4] to D, and [5] to E. Then use the modified file. We have changed internal representation of data and didn't test all other parts of the app carefully. Sorry about that.
If you still can't resolve the issue, send your data to me.

Hi,
You can get more than 3K questions. The app has restriction on the number of unsolved questions. You can have up to 125 for each type. As you progress through the set, you will be able to download more questions (up to 3K) that you need the most. In other words, If you solve 50 CR questions, you can download 50 CR more to have at least 100 unsolved CR questions in the database.

Hi walker,
thanks very much for this wonderful App. As I plan to sit for GMAT until the major change in June 2012 it will be of great help. I will just need to finally buy a iPhone/iPad
Just a quick question as I am in the process of choosing my preparation materials. Where do all the potential questions come from (those in the app and those whichh I'll be able to download later on)? You mention that questions are from multiple publishing companies as MGMAT, Kaplan, Knewton etc. Are they the same questions included in the printed workbooks of those companies?
Keep developing this wonderful thing,
Dimitar

Thanks for the quick reply! I understand that you don't know the exact resources and this is normal. Just wanted to understand if an overlay between questions from preparation books and the app is to be expected, but well, on the other hand - repetition in this case might be the best preparation.
I will definitely buy it, but will just need some days to get a kind of Apple device. Would you recommend the iPad because of the bigger screen or is the iPhone version also well optimized?
Dimitar

I would say there is definitely an overlap (they didn't create exclusive questions just for us) but I don't know exactly from which source they took them.
The app is optimized for both iPhone/iPod and iPad. Just think about what would be more convenient for you to use. Probably iPhone is good in subway or when you on-the-go and don't have comfortable place to sit down and work with iPad and you can work with iPhone using only one hand.

I can address that piece. I believe the questions are not from the books.
The MGMAT questions are their challenge questions (the hardest questions they have and are a collection of various topics and tuypes)
Kaplan is also not from the text books based on what we have been told
Knewton is the only part I am not sure about but since every course comes with 6,000 questions, I doubt taking 200 Knewton questions will make a difference
Let me know if any other questions. BB.

Hi guys,
thanks to both of you for the answers. As I already said - its not crucial if some of the questions repeat, I just wanted to know. As I am going to focus myself mainly on MGMAT sources, your product/app provides me with additional value in offering questions from other companies. So thanks for the information. I will definitely come back with my feedback in some days/weeks.
Cheers!
