I just want to say that this is the best $25 I've spent. Amazing app with great functionality.

I also support the idea of adding a section that allows us to plug-in our mock test scores and breakdowns!

Thanks for your words! There is nothing better than knowing that our app does help people!

Let me think about mock tests graph and maybe we can even add it in the next update.

Walker: Sorry, I accidentally deleted the post. It was about when new Manhattan GMAT books will be available for in-app purchase in GMAT ToolKit and whether it will be possible to ugrade 4th edition to 5th one for free. Sorry about that

Hi walker,

having completed nearly 60% of all OG12 SC questions (while studying with MGMAT SC) I procrastinated entering all the data in my error log, just wrote down my answers, whether true/false, and the reason for mistakes. Now I found out what beauty you've created - the wonderful OG Tracker within my GMAT Toolkit and wanted to ask:

1. How to enter all answers to the questions which I've already solved without the timer running?
2. Is there a way to use the OG Tracker when doing OG questions, but not in the same sequence as they are in the OG book? (I'm currently doing them in the sequence proposed by MGMAT and so the timer automatically goes on to the next question, which I don't want to do right now)

I'll be grateful if you can elaborate on this two questions shortly!

Have a nice day! Again thanks for the great app and service you provide!

Thanks for your words!

1. Yes, you can add data from your e-log to the OG Tracker. Here is what you should do:

- save all data in the following format for each record: Books-OG12-DT-PS-1-00:03-B-sure-11:43:02|04092012;
1) Books-OG12 - code for OG12.
2) DT - id of section (DT - diagnostic test, PS, DS, RC, CR, SC)
3) PS - question type
4) 1 - question number
5) 00:03 - time in mm:ss format
6) B - answer {A,B,C,D,E}
7) sure - sure/guess
8) 11:43:02|04092012 - time|date

Example:
Books-OG13-DT-PS-1-00:03-B-sure-11:43:02|04092012;
Books-OG13-DT-PS-2-00:02-E-sure-11:43:02|04092012;
Books-OG13-DT-PS-3-00:02-A-sure-11:43:02|04092012;

Copy all formatted data into email and send it to your account you can access from your device. Open the email, copy all data and go to GMAT ToolKit > OG Trakcer > export > (from) clipboard.

2. You can use filter to see only questions with a certain tag(s) but you can't set, let's say, "show me 1st, 4th, 15th...". At the same time it would be easy for us to add it in the next update. That's actually a great idea!

Thanks for the questions and one good idea

Best,
Walker

As for the 2nd question, you could also buy Manhattan GMAT's OG guide within the app. The ebook is linked to the OG tracker. If you are in the ebook and want to do questions by topic, the OG tracker will give you only that selection of questions from the OG, and your answers will be saved both in the tracker as well as the OG guide.

Currently that's only possible for OG12 though. But I think that's good enough.

By the way, walker - about two months ago I reported (via email) a small typo within the OG guide (see attached screenshot, under percents). Would really appreciate if that could be fixed at some point. Thanks a lot!

I also had a question regarding the practice questions inside the GMAT Toolkit. Are these the same as the GMATClub Tests, or is there some kind of overlap? I'm not sure whether to use those practice questions and/or the GMATClub Tests.

Thanks!

- I remember the issue with OG12 percents links. Sorry about that. We will fix it in a few days.
- 311 questions in GMAT ToolKit are the hardest questions from GMAT Club Tests.

So much less bulky than flash cards! This application is great because it allows me to study on the go. I would definitely recommend it to anyone studying for the GMAT.

We are going to submit 1.6.14 update in 1-2 days. What's new:

+ fixed the tags problem (tags in the filter disappear after updating to 1.6.13).
+ filter questions by numbers in the OG Tracker tool (For example, 1, 2, 5, 12, 34). It's very useful if you use Manhattan GMAT books or other books that are referring to a specific sets of problems in the OG guides).
+ fixed "Percents" section in the MGMAT OG Companion book (Part VI).

Thanks for feedback!!!

Best,
Walker

For those of you who have the MGMAT OG Companion book, please open the Store (GMAT ToolKit). You will see "update available" under the icon of the book. Tap the "update" button (the top-right corner) to update the book.

Jfk, please let me know whether it fixes the typo.

Thanks,
Walker

Hi Walker,

I can't wait to try out this app. I am actually going to buy an iPad very soon and the GMAT ToolKit will be my first app on it.
Do you guys have stats about how many you sold total/ over time / by version?
Any way to know whether people use it on 1/ iPhone 2/ipod Touch 3/ iPad 4/a combination of those?

Can you actually 'sync' the data (scores, history of tests results, etc...) between multiple devices?

Greg

I use it on the iPad more frequently, in combination with the Bamboo stylus on the scratchboard that is part of any in-app ebook or OG tracker.

You can manually sync your data between devices, if you email yourself the raw data (option easy available within the trackers). You then copy paste into the app. It's not automatic, but it's easy enough IMHO.

I also just realized the great value of the timer. If I wanna do Sackmann's questions, I can use the app's timer to keep track of those questions, or any other questions from other books.

As for the usefulness on the iPhone: it's nice to have your MGMAT ebooks available anywhere you are. I have my iPhone with me more frequently than the iPad. The game is nice for on-the-way-practice and the hard quant questions are good too, though I prefer using the iPad's scratchboard (bigger). If you wanna practice on the iPhone I highly recommend MGMAT's free flashcards, they don't require any heavy sketches / calculations that would require a scratchboard. The questions are of very good quality and you can track your progress / practice different content areas etc.

Hi Greg,

We keep only general stats and what I know for sure that GMAT Toolkit is the best selling GMAT prep app over 2 years (it's true). People use it on different devices but recently we have started to move away from supporting old iOS versions. Currently the app requires iOS 4.2 or later and we going to keep 4.2 as the least supported iOS for awhile. (roughly 98% of all active iOS devices use >=4.x iOS and 79% - >=5.0 iOS).

Yes, you can transfer data between devices. Now, it requires some manual work but we are working on version 2.0 that will allow you to synchronize data seamlessly between devices.

Best,
Walker

ADDED: Thanks Jkf

Heads-up: Apple is still reviewing the 1.6.14 update. I hope the update will be approved tomorrow or in a few days.
