Hi bb,

I didn get this part :
To get the 50-point Bonus, you need to take 30 timers within 1 day (the day is measured based on the GMAT Club's midnight, which is US Pacific Time). If you take fewer than 30 questions within that 24-hour stretch, there will be no bonus. Keep that in mind.

There are only 4 questions. How to get 30 timers. And one day means today till tomorrow 9pm or till today midnight

You can take any 30 timers i.e you can answer any 30 questions across Quant and verbal. One day starts from midnight Pacific time to next midnight Pacific time.

Yes the questions posted will be 4 + 4 , once at 8 am and other at 8 pm PST ; they will be the ones that will have to be answered with 60 mins of posting to score points.
Rest other question posting will be there on Instagram, but not sure how they will mark those for points.
then few others will be timer ones (30 to be answered) which you have to solve with every 24 hrs calculated according to pacific time cycle.

The dashboard says that "You are 5 out 334 GOG users" but I'm not on the top 10 list. Refreshed the page couple of times.Is there anything wrong with the list?

Some concerns !

1)Some of us don't have Instagram accounts , guess we will miss these bonus points! Our Hard Luck !
2) For the 50 bonus points on attempting 30 questions a day, as everybody is busy posting explanations and taking part in the competition. Its hard to find 30 new questions on GMAT club consistently on a daily basis even adding PS+DS+CR+SC ! And on weekends new questions get particularly low!

For losers like me who have no other work apart from GMAT, Wish we could have more questions !

Let's go avengers!!

This is my first time participating and it is really fun. I get to revise all my concepts while I write down posts.

A perfect way to improve timing and confidently eliminate the wrong choices in the right method.

You can hunt for the bonus Instagram question on gmat club forums and check PS, DS, SC and CR but it will be a lot easier to perhaps give instagram a shot ?

We have close to 100,000 questions on GMAT Club. Are you sure the no questions you could take? Maybe you have got all of them..... that would be very impressive! ???
