What ! We have full length tests available in GMATClub

A quick question though - Do the questions in the full length tests overlap with the sectional tests or do the full length tests have a separate question pool ?

Hi.
A full test consists of 4 sectional tests (AWA, IR, Verbal, and Quant) - the order can be chosen.
To answer your question, the question pool is the same with a few exceptions (we have 150 AWA prompts and we wrote 100 new IR questions).
The sectional and full tests perfectly co-exist together. You can take a full test and then a sectional and then take a full test again and not have any questions that will repeat or anything like that. The current number of the Full Tests is limited by the IR tests. As soon as we get more IR questions, we will have additional full tests available.

Thanks a ton for organising such a wonderful competition bb and Bunuel

It was nice to take a break every day for a couple of hours and spend that time solving the competition questions and writing their explanations. The competition was a great distraction from the anxiety caused by the applications. I almost made it to the top 10 as well. Should've availed the timer bonus for the first week!

Thank you daldilaimi yasharoraa and angelscry97 for your moderation efforts!

P.S.: All the best for Kellogg, daldilaimi

Thank you so much and very well done!

Hey bb
We can see what all is included in the Manhattan package but not in the Math Revolution package. If you could share the inclusions of the Math Revolution package, could help us make an informed decision.

Thanks for the info bb . So this 3 month access to the GMAT Club Test Package includes all the tests, including the full GMAT tests recently launched? Or is it curated to something limited?

Thank you. It is a good question. Usually the course purchase would entitle you with access to the GMAT Club Tests. However, in this case the course is not purchased

You should be able to use your rewards points that you have been earning from posting and timers and kudos during this competition to get access to the GMAT Club Tests.

Top 10 players - You should be getting a PM from me about the certificate. Please fill out yet another form by July 31 to get it.

Thx.

Hi, bb !

In the winner announcement post, you mentioned that the top 3 from each team would get a certificate, but now you're mentioning the top 10. Are these two different certificates or has the criteria for certificates changed?

Asking because I'm 11th overall but 3rd in my team

Oops. I got myself in trouble.
It looks like the original post from July 5th said Top 10
https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-club-wo ... l#p3038926

It seems I have then mixed a few things up and said top 3 (which is in contradiction with the July 5th post).
The Reason for Top 10 was that it is hard to put on a certificate teams - I thought about it. It would be a bit odd to say "Finished Top 3 on Team Messi"

but I am happy to expand it to the 2 more people if you can find a good enough phrase that would be serious if AdCom or someone looks at it

, the certificate can say

" Team Rank 1/2/3 by 'member name'"

Though this was a team game challenge, but individual top 3 members did have competition amongst their own team members and imo this should be acknowledged...
It would be great if you could extend this certificate to top 3 members of each team..

It looks like changing it from top 10 to the top three players of each team is not going to be possible.

Since the expectation was always to get the certificates to top 10 players until the erroneous announcement, I will go ahead and correct the error in the announcement. The certificates will be available only to the top 10 players.

Thank you and sorry about the typo.

So bb, all this includes is the 2100 questions and video lessons but not the GMAT Club Tests?

I'd love that if it's possible to do it, bb !

About the phrase: "Ranked 11th out of 910 participants, scoring 7440 out of 11000 points" - Does that work?
Or if you can round it off, we can just say top 1%? What do you think?
