I have received 5 kudos today on the questions added but I have received points for only 4. One of the kudos was just given. Is that the reason for the delay in the points. Thank you for your help.

I have no idea what you mean by this. But, I took 30 timers separately and got 50 bonus points. (At least 50 bonuses credited to my score 4 times).

I cannot remember if that was you but one user (maybe?) was trying to take Questions in GMAT Club Tests.

So I told them that only timers taken in for specific forums count. Not questions in gmat club tests. It is about timers, not questions.

By the way, the 50 point bonus is still in effect today (Sat) and Tomorrow (Sat) so you can pick up an extra 100 points in these 2 days with 30 timers taken during the day (counting using the Pacific Time).

P.S. I may send this as a PM to folks since some may not be aware and since the questions did not post today...

Thank you for this update. You know I had asked the same ques in the forum regarding 30 timers is it even applicable on Saturdays and Sundays both ? But, no one responded to me. So, I thought it was not applicable. Thank you so much for the clarification.

if you take the timer five times and obviously get a correct answer one of those five times.

The logic behind getting points for the Correctly answered questions was that the answer that you have at 8:00 PST, exactly 24 hours later, is the answer that counts. It may be A, B, C, D or E. It can't possibly be all 5.
So just wanted to clarify this as that's what I had understood from the rules of the competition.
I still believe that this logic is the best possible logic for this competition but well, upto you though.
Thanks.

PS: I hope and wish that this above logic gets applied in future competitions of this nature. I don't really mind if the first timer rule gets applied in this competition.
Thanks.

Hi! I had a doubt regarding the point system. I was at 980 points until yesterday after getting 4 kudos from Moderators. However, this morning when I checked my score I realized it had dropped to some 600 points with only 1 kudos reflecting from the moderator. Also, according to the table I have posted only 1 explanation, while in reality I had posted explanations to 6 questions. Hoping I can get some clarification behind this, since the drop in my rank has really demotivated me

Hi bb

Bonus for 30 Timers (for Jul 21) has not been added into the score.

Request if the Timers could be checked, and the points credited.

Thanks
