If you mean this post ^, I think its because Kudos is not from a Moderator...

Yes that's the one I was referring to.

I wasn't aware he is not a moderator. Thanks.

But still I do not seem to be getting points for right answers for the past couple of days.

Hi bb

Just thought of sharing a suggestion based on this.

So, as shown in the attached file, I went to GMAT Club tests section and tried to practice Remainder questions choosing appropriate filters since I struggled with the topic.
(I got access to the tests/quizzes for a week because I subscribed to YT channel)

My suggestion is, can the platform auto-suggest what sort of questions I should immediately practice next since I got a certain type of question wrong?
The categorization of questions has already been fantastically done.

I think this can lead to a positive loop.

In order to practice suggested questions, I would try to participate more on the platform to reach a certain level for tests redemption or I may buy tests/quizzes.

Auto-suggestion of questions may trigger a user to act immediately and help with procrastination. And the concept can be solidified immediately.

I have seen Bunuel posting a few similar questions when being asked in the thread of certain questions.

Just a suggestion. I am sure you must have thought of pros and cons of this. Thought of sharing regardless.

I have another question on the 30 timers bonus... (I read the rules, and used search but could not find an answer)

Do RC questions count in the 30 timers?

I took 2 RC passages from RC Butler today... total 7 questions.

All 7 questions are appearing in my error log, but when I go to error log STATS, it is not counting those 7 questions.

So do i need to do 30 from SC/CR/PS/DS only?
Thanks


EDIT: Its in the rules!! I completely missed it . RC is not eligible.

Yes it is stated in the rules that we have to do all 30s from SC/CR/PS/DS only. RC will not count at all.

(You have one hour from the time of posting to earn Bonus GOT Points for the Timer and 24 hours for the Explanations. Note that your explanations will be hidden for 24 hours until the OA is revealed.)

I just sent a PM about this to the competing teams and just in case it is missed, we wanted to announce some changes for the WEEK 3 of the GOT Competition:

1. This week we are posting more questions to help teams catch up and earn more points. You will find 3 quant questions everyday this week!

2. Important: starting tomorrow we are going to reward only the best explanations with Kudos. I am giving moderators a guidance to give around 10 kudos per topic more or less so don't be surprised if your 2-line explanation goes not get Kudos. If you are posting an explanation, make sure you are doing your best. Explanations posted sooner will be prioritized for Kudos to a certain extent.


Thank you and good luck!!!
If you compete, you will get better at the GMAT, even if you make mistakes and don't get GOT points, the point is to get GMAT points really

I am done for today's question.

Because of this game, i logged in daily to do GMAT questions and revised each question which I got wrong. Not only that, for questions which i have concept gaps, i solved couple of those "similar questions" at the end of the page to get myself familiarize with the concepts.
I have begun to see the mistakes i made when i compared my solutions with those of others.

Many thanks moderators for your efforts!

Almost a year now i'm playing yo-yo with GMAT prep and Game of timers has got some discipline into me.
Couldn't thank you enough bb and all the moderators for coming up with this amazing concept and putting so much effort for all of us.
Thanks a lot for this..

Hi bb,

I observed some people jump on the ranking yesterday when it was only questions and explanations points that were available. Is it possible that some people are using the 30 timer over the weekend to leapfrog others? Please look into this matter. I may not be correct but it is worth verifying as this is my observation.

Thank you for the wonderful initiative. "You don't really know how much you know something until when asked to explain it". This game is a great one in terms of giving me the opportunity to explain what I thought I know.

Cheers.

Hi Bunuel , can you please verify the second question. Is it only me who thinks that the last part of the question (not more than 20% part) doesn't make sense?
