The mind-boggling thing is that the spot #5 was at 31 Kudos in July and is at 31 in August.... who would have figured... and Karishma is #4 month over month.

P.S. I also got the same number - 71 in both months.... is this a conspiracy?

As per Wikipedia: Kudos (from Greek κῦδος) is an English word meaning acclaim or praise for exceptional achievement.

In GMAT Club speak - it is points that reflect your level of participation and input on GMAT Club.
Getting 25 Kudos and 100 posts or 50 Kudos allows access to the GMAT Club Tests.

Hi BB

A quick question:

goalset gave me 2 kudos yesterday, taking my kudos tally to 11 - my profile reflects 11 kudos.

But when I go to the list of kudos I received, goalset's 2 kudos are not in the list.

Any reason why?

Cheers

Santanu

Thanks PTK!

I can see the 2 new kudos now - probably the new links get updated once every day - and may be not immediately.
