:) I guess we are the GMAT Focus App - you can judge the tests for yourself on Thursday if you want to test drive them before you buy. The pro package is available for 24 hours on Thursday as a part of holiday free test access: gmat-club-tests-free-access-on-holidays-88231.html

Here are some ideas how to use Official vs. Unofficial tests (when to use which one): official-vs-unofficial-practice-tests-451360.html

I read in reddit that gmac’s official mocks are no longer accurate representation of actual test and scoring.. felt a bit skeptical about it at first but now I’m seeing more stories like this with erratic difference.. btw the mocks which you took were they 1-6? Coz i also got to know that mocks 5-6 are on the tougher side and could be more accurate

I would find this odd. Yes there are many people who don’t perform as well on the official test as on the practice tests but because the GMAT scores are consistent year over a year, they cannot just change the test significantly without creating a lot of problems for themselves.

Are there any facts besides a handful of people claiming things?

Honestly, I don’t remember. Try it and if you cannot access it, then you cannot. If that’s the case, you can come back on Thursday when there’s free access and screenshot the score reports you need.

Hey - Perhaps a very basic question - but is it allowed to touch the monitor during the exam? I tend to place my finger on the screen during RCs and TA questions

Additionally, is there any place where I can read the restrictions at the test centre?

Hi. There’s nothing against touching the monitor. You’re not supposed to use the touchscreen feature at home but nothing in the rules about touching the monitor at the test center.

Search for the GMAT booklet or testing rules.
Here’s the list of very exciting policies:

You're not just allowed to murmur or make any kind of sounds while reading in the center based test

Really? I think that was the rule for the at home test. I don’t think they can really hear your murmuring because there’s some background noise usually and people are wearing headphones and earplugs

Here are the policies:
https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat-exam/reg ... m-policies

There is this policy:
You may not read questions aloud or mumble/speak during the exam session other than to ask the test administrator a question.

So I guess you’re not supposed to mumble but you can still quietly read the question and murmur to yourself, as as long as people are not complaining about you, I think you’ll be OK

How to approach this
Total orders of 8 distinct racers: 8!

You want only the orders where Meg ahead of Bob, and Bob ahead of John. That is one specific order out of the 3! possible relative orders of Meg, Bob, John. So the answer is:

8!/3! = 6720.
