Cause if its soft copy, I’d want to get the Manhattan Prep Quant. Had an issue with the purchase earlier.

Okies ☺️

*Waiting for Charles from GMAT Ninja to save the day again with our DI worries*

BottomJee, asking for a fellow GMAT friend. Did you notice any cross-sectional adaptiveness?

I don’t the calculations are very hard. If you are falling for hard calculations then that’s what the test makers want us to do. There always a simpler way to solve questions, but it is not always easy to find it.

There is a live Stream done by GMAC, in that they said Focus is not sectional adaptive.

Check out the stream for reaffirmation. Don’t take my word for it :shh:

645, equivalent of 690/700. The center has not provided printed score report. I didn’t glance at my sectional scores coz I thought I would be getting the report. Official score will be available in 3-5 days. My mock scores were 655, 595,595, 665. So this score is in between my mocks. My last GMAT score was 660. So I have achieved 30/40 points improvement.
Congratulations!! That’s an amazing score! :) All the best for R2 applications

I have one random question, there are rumours of the adaptive nature spreading across sections (doing well in the first two = starting off with a harder 3rd section). Do you think that’s true? I haven’t seen any official confirmation of this

I believe there were few more people who had their Focus exams today, so if you are seeing this message then feel free to share your experience with the community.

In 2 part analysis did u get more verbal related questions than math related or the ratio was same?
Sorry, I didn’t keep track of this

BottomJee
No comments, I am not an expert. Apologies, I can help you out in this
*CAN’T :|

Forgot to mention one more point, in DI section: The on-screen calculator doesn’t take inputs from keyboard just like in the mocks. Someone told be otherwise few weeks ago, so just sharing this info. to avoid any confusion. Practice accordingly during your preparations.

To be honest, providing us normal calculator (physical one) feels more better

Clicking the numbers with a mouse for every digit and expression is kind of frustrating tbh

Hey @BottomJee! Just wanted to ask if you’ve encountered any non-math related data sufficiency questions?

^ Or anyone here who has taken the gmat focus test!

My memory is not good buddy, but what I can say with confidence is that the Focus mocks are pretty accurate with the real exam.
