12 Days of Christmas 2023 - 2024 Competition with $25,000 of Prizes

Totally agreeing with VivekPrateek here. This event filled us with excitement and propelled us in our GMAT journey.

Thankyou bb, Bunuel and other team members who made this happen.

I agree with treeetravel

I am thankful to bb, Bunuel for organising this competition. This would be a good help to ace the GMAT test.

To all the participants, your efforts and courage to put yourselves out there are commendable. Remember, every experience is a stepping stone towards success. Keep striving! 👏

Heartiest Congratulations to Team Grinch! Your hard work and dedication have truly paid off. 🏆
And congratulations to the three toppers of the respective teams. Especially GMATCenturion for raising the bar and scoring 100^2 + points

And lastly, a Big Thank You to bb , Bunuel, BottomJee and the gmatclub team (your work behind the scenes does not go unnoticed and is greatly appreciated🙏) for their tireless efforts in making this event a success.

PS - bb - Please do consider awarding an e-certificate to the top ten participants.

Thanks ! Congratulations to you as well for 100^2 + points

P.S. - I am a huge fan of your explanations especially the questions pertaining to quant

bb / Bunuel - Thank you for this great competition. Just a recommendation - can we make one of the two competitions, either the summer competition or the winter competition, individual based instead of team based. I think that would also give everyone a fair chance to win based on their level of preparation. What say ?

Thank you everyone for your dedication, perseverance and sportsmanship!!! We have had 1,300 participants, that’s the biggest turn out for the winter competition than ever before.

Thank you to Bunuel and BottomJee for their dedication in posting and checking the questions.

Thanks to the sponsors for the prizes - TTP and Experts Global as well as for providing new questions for the competition.

I will be providing certificates to the top 10 contestant. Our next step is to get the results finalized, reviewed and confirmed. Then we will begin working on awarding the prizes. I will be in touch about the prizes in about 48 hrs.

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas!

Congratulations Team Grinch on winning the competition. I think this is the first time Grinch won! I guess you did steal Christmas from folks
Your 2 weeks of GMAT Club Tests RPO and 1 month of Forum Quiz have been enabled.
You can access them here:

https://gmatclub.com/gmat-practice-tests/
https://gmatclub.com/forum/quiz.php?menu=1

Good luck with your prep!

P.S. If you have an active quiz subscription, please email support@gmatclub.com and we will issue you a refund for 1 month as our billing system is very simple and cannot understand free months. Sorry about this.

Next, I will be reaching out to the top 32 players who are eligible for a prize and for you to submit your prize preferences. That should be coming in the next 24 hrs along with me posting the official Top 100 list.


My last step is working on the Top 10 certificates (this will take the longest perhaps but I will get them to you by end of the week). If you are within the top 10, you will get one around the 31st of Dec.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I got a number of questions from people about Tests and quizzes, let me clarify.
If you already have GMAT Club test access/subscription, your access will be extended. E.g you had it until Jan 1, and now with 2 more weeks you will be good until Jan 15. So your access is extended.

Thank you.

If you enjoyed our competition questions and found them challenging and useful, you can access all previous competition questions through the links below:

• Critical Reasoning (CR) Competition Questions
• Sentence Correction (SC) Competition Questions
• Data Sufficiency (DS) Competition Questions
• Problem Solving (PS) Competition Questions

Do we get access to the 30-timer questions on Saturdays and Sundays? Or 50 points against these timer ques will be credited to our score? In the last competition we had. Please clarify my doubts.

Hi. The competition was over on Friday (technically the last points were awarded on Sat morning) so it is too late to get points.
You could get points for Sat and Sun timers about 10 days ago. However, I don't even see that you have joined the competition - there is no team name next to your username, indicating that you have not signed up for a team.

Congratulations again Team Grinch on Winning the competition. It appears this may be the first time ever Grinches have won... and they have worked hard and together! This is where perseverance and numbers beat out talent. There is not a single Grinch in the Top 5 but they still did it! Awesome!

Below is the top 100 participants ranked by points. We will be distributing the prizes to the winners based on the predefined arrangement mentioned in the first post (the highest-ranked member is actually not the one who gets the first pick

• The top 3 players on each of the 4 teams will have a choice of the top prizes (the winning team's 3 top users will have the first pick), and then the next 9 will choose their prizes based on the point ranking
• The remaining prizes will be distributed among the users based on the points earned. Each user is limited to 1 prize. We have a lot of prizes and expect over 500+ people getting something (Full disclosure: the majority of those, will be getting GMAT Club tests for the winning team). In other words, 9 people from non-winning teams will also win prizes based on the above.

When are you reaching out bb Bunuel ??

OK. The prize choice is closed and I will be assigning prizes based on availability and preferences. Thank you. More to come

Kinshook - it was very generous of you to recuse yourself from the prizes and allowing others to step up in line. Thank you

I am also working on those Top 10 certificates - they are manual and I have given them a bit of a lower priority for sometime this weekend to spend an hour making

Hi Everyone again - here is the official selection of prizes based on the choices made and based on the prizes that were available. As a reminder, the first 3 players of the winning team had the first pick of prizes and then the top 3 players of other winning teams and only after that the rest of the players based on the points. Some people may have had more points but were #4 on the team, and had to yield the choice to the top 3. It is complicated business which is the reason I am posting this for 24 hours in case someone spots a mistake in my data insights skills (one had happened before so I am waiting for 24 hrs now). Congrats rishikavats17 - Kinshook donated your prizes back into the pool.

Thank you for your patience and appreciate your understanding for the process.
