Big thanks to our sponsors (see the full list of sponsors below) we have lots of prizes for both the winning team and also the Top 3 players in each team. https://gmatclub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/gmat-club-logo3.png GMAT Club Tests PRO (2-week access) - $30 each | 400 licenses available for the ENTIRE winning team | Total Value: $12,000 . - GMAT Club tests are some of the best and well-known practice tests for those looking to improve their quant score. These tests were written by moderators such as Bunuel and others to help prepare you for the unexpected. These questions do not force you to do excruciating calculations or needlessly waste your time. GMAT Club tests focus on combining multiple concepts and present you with questions you have not seen before, just like the hard quant questions on the GMAT - forcing you to find a solution to a question you have never seen before. - Your access will start on Dec 29th, right after the competition ends. https://gmatclub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/mgmat-new-1502.gif Manhattan Prep GMAT INTERACT Course - $999 each | 3 Courses Available | Total Value: $3,000 - On Demand version of the industry's best online and in-person course - All MGMAT Books (Quant, Verbal + 2x Foundations books) - 6 MGMAT Tests - 35+ interactive video-based lessons - Includes Official Guide https://gmatclub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/grad-prep-12.gif Grad Prep 5 Test Bundles - $79 each | 5 Courses Available | Total Value: $400 - 5 Full length GMAT Practice tests - Learner Mode, practice mode, simulation mode - Assessment predictor - 6-month access https://gmatclub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/experts-global-logo.png Experts' Global 15 Practice Tests - $50 | 10 available | Total Value: $500 Question Sponsor | Total Value: Priceless - 15 Full-length tests - Video and text solutions - Rigorous analytics - Concept videos & exercises https://gmatclub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/gmat-club-logo3.png GMAT Club Forum Quiz (1-month access) - $15 each | 400 licenses available for the winning team | Total Value: $6,000 . - No ads or distractions - GMAT-like UI - Take multiple questions at a time on GMAT Club - Timer auto-start - Over 50,000 questions! https://gmatclub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/experts-global-logo.png 25% Off Experts' Global Admissions Consulting Package - up to $1,500 off | 3 available | Total Value: $4,500 - Mentors with 99th% on the GMAT & MBA Alums - Thorough process of 5 steps: Essays, LOR's, Resume, Online application (short answers) - Interview prep & support https://gmatclub.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/gmat-club-logo3.png GMAT Club MBA App Store - Real Successful Essays 50% Discount - up to $60 | 10 discounts | Total Value: $600 . - Real essays & applications of last year's applicants - Get full details - essays, short answers, resume and all related details - See what it takes to get it for your schools and your backgrounds - Over 200 Admitted Real Essays Total Prize value: $30,000+ The prize list is still expanding and we will update it as more prizes are added.

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. How Many Teams Are There? There is a total of 4 teams: Team Santa , Reindeer , Elves , and Team Grinch Can I Choose My Team? No, the assignment is random. You will be given your team name when you Join the Competition.

Bonuses for 30 Timers I think the points related to Timers have always been a confusion (and I see this question asked in every competition we host) . Sharing few pointers related to "Timer Bonus" to help clear some questions that you may have - Eligibility for 50-point Bonus / for 30 Timers You need to take 30 timers within 1 day Note: The day is measured based on the GMAT Club's midnight, which is US Pacific Time . You can convert the time using any online platform (or using an additional clock in cell phone / OS). Conversion of Midnight PST to some common time zones - 00:00 AM PST / 3:00 AM EST / 8:00 AM UTC / 1:30 PM IST / 7:00 PM AEDT You have to take a timer for at least 6 seconds for it to count in the competition and no more than 6 minutes. Questions attempted using Forum Quiz do count in the 30 timers Question attempted using GMAT Club Tests do not count in the 30 timers. If you take fewer than 30 questions within that 24-hour stretch, there will be no bonus. Personal Experience: I remember taking 29 questions in one of the earlier competitions and realized this only when the points didn't get added the next day Advice: The timer questions reflect in your error log. You can check whether 30 questions have been logged for a particular day. Cut the crap, when will my points get added ? Points are awarded at Noon PST the following day So you will have to wait for 12 hours from the end of the day for the points to get added / reflected on the points table. Example, if you have attempted 30 timers on Dec 15, 2022 between 12:00 AM PST and 11:59 PST, the points get added at noon on December 16, 2022. Conversion of Noon PST to some common time zones - 12:00 PM PST / 3:00 PM EST / 8:00 PM UTC / 1:30 AM IST (next day) / 7:00 AM AEDT (next day) Still with me Scenario : You're based out of the IST Time zone (+5:30 GMT / +13:30 PST) and you're attempting timer bonus for Dec 15, 2020. Time window to attempt the questions 1:30 PM (Dec 15, 2022) to 1:29 PM (Dec 16, 2022) Bonus will be awarded at 1:30 AM (Dec 17, 2022) Hope this helps ! P.S. You can convert the time zones online here bb - Please correct me if you see any discrepancy.

Hi. You can find the answer to your question in the table on the first page: https://gmatclub.com/forum/12-days-of-c ... 03036.html
You also have to think what "today" means to you and what it means to the system, etc.

You are welcome and good luck!
You will get the most points (100) for posting explanations. 100 per question!
You will also get 50 total points for taking 30 timers (that bonus is posted at Noon PST but we may move it to 6:15 AM as well - no reason to wait I think)

Also, for all those who do not know how to reply WITHOUT a Quote button - please also stop quoting the biggest hugest post that has the answer to your question. It is not funny for me anymore. I laughed at first but it is only annoying.

So for everyone who does not know how to reply without the QUOTE button - this post is for you:

Bonuses for 30 Timers

I think the points related to Timers have always been a confusion (and I see this question asked in every competition we host)

. Sharing few pointers related to "Timer Bonus" to help clear some questions that you may have -

Eligibility for 50-point Bonus / for 30 Timers

You need to take 30 timers within 1 day

Note: The day is measured based on the GMAT Club's midnight, which is US Pacific Time.

You can convert the time using any online platform (or using an additional clock in cell phone / OS).

Conversion of Midnight PST to some common time zones -

00:00 AM PST / 3:00 AM EST / 8:00 AM UTC / 1:30 PM IST / 7:00 PM AEDT
You have to take a timer for at least 6 seconds for it to count in the competition and no more than 6 minutes.
Questions attempted using Forum Quiz do count in the 30 timers
Question attempted using GMAT Club Tests do not count in the 30 timers.
If you take fewer than 30 questions within that 24-hour stretch, there will be no bonus.

Personal Experience: I remember taking 29 questions in one of the earlier competitions and realized this only when the points didn't get added the next day

Advice: The timer questions reflect in your error log. You can check whether 30 questions have been logged for a particular day.

Cut the crap, when will my points get added ?

Points are awarded at Noon PST the following day

So you will have to wait for 12 hours from the end of the day for the points to get added / reflected on the points table. Example, if you have attempted 30 timers on Dec 15, 2022 between 12:00 AM PST and 11:59 PST, the points get added at noon on December 16, 2022.

Conversion of Noon PST to some common time zones -

12:00 PM PST / 3:00 PM EST / 8:00 PM UTC / 1:30 AM IST (next day) / 7:00 AM AEDT (next day)

Still with me

Scenario : You're based out of the IST Time zone (+5:30 GMT / +13:30 PST) and you're attempting timer bonus for Dec 15, 2020.

Time window to attempt the questions 1:30 PM (Dec 15, 2022) to 1:29 PM (Dec 16, 2022)
Bonus will be awarded at 1:30 AM (Dec 17, 2022)

Hope this helps !

P.S. You can convert the time zones online here

bb - Please correct me if you see any discrepancy.
