Now it's not possible but we are working on it (only ~1/3 hardest questions from GMAT Club tests are included).

Thanks walker!
You had better make a FAQ section in first post (may insert it in spoiler) , cause sooner or later the same questions will appear.

Walker,

Hmm Really Thanks for a quick response. So i will go ahead and buy MGMAT OG companion. It comes with 6 CAT tests.

I just started off gmat prep. Booked a spot on OCT 25

Dunno If the time is enough. But my brother who's completed GMat way long ago, suggested me these forums. I will put up my study plan in appropriate section today and wait for your inputs ! Yes i just took OG diagnostic test and i got a pretty disappointing 580. Analysing the result to know more about my weak areas.

Well , Finally when i buy MGMAT OG companion from its store , how can i integrate it into gmat tool kit app ?

Thanks
Vishz

If you buy the OG Companion in GMAT ToolKit, you will see it in the Library as an ebook with some elements of interactivity and in the OG Tracker as a part of the tool.
To claim any benefits that comes with some Manhattan GMAT Books you need to wait for a receipt from Apple and than send it directly to Manhattan GMAT to get access to their resources.

Yes, it's time to create a FAQ section.

Yesterday, I finally took a stab at the game. I spent 1-1.5hrs yesterday. Finish all the levels in a stretch :p and reached ~8000. Then I played few of the f'ed up levels - some of the start and middle levels - again and reached ~8500

. I will give it shot again some other time; maybe when after my GMAT, will see. I am badly struggling at verbal here and want to devote next 7 days hard-core in verbal - as if I am not doing that already but HOPE! Definitely the game is exciting and "thrilling", as I had to really freaking concentrate towards the end. The last few of levels are really tensed, and I did not get all right in last 3-4 levels. Thanks for creating the game.

wow, you are so close to 9035! Taking into account that I got Q50 and created all those questions, you don't need to spent time on quant any more

Good luck with Verbal and GMAT!

Hm.. Thanks for reporting! Probably the app knows that you can beat me

I will take a look what could go wrong.

I was feeling like puking after thoroughly reviewing a couple of MGMAT SC chapters w/ OG questions again for the whole freaking day. So, to relax myself I thought I will take a stab at the game again - spent another ~45mins replaying some of the levels again. I think I beat you :p (please find attached images for proof :D). I still have to finish the last couple of levels w/o dying once :p - that will be after GMAT!

Nice. Good job :-B. I will take a stab at it again after my GMAT. I feel like I can get another 300-500 points total in 3 of the last few rounds. I timed out twice in level 15 and once in levels 11 and 14 - so I think there is some margin for improvement. Keep trying though, if you have time and still not bored, I think you can get more! ;-)
