Donate & Join GMAT Club for 24-Hour GMAT Marathon to Help Ukraine!

Thank you!
That's a great Idea. Perhaps Nikhil can help organize and pair some mentors and contributors together.

Hello bb,

I cannot express in words how painful it is to witness the current turmoil in the world at this time. While many of us are fortunate to be safe, my heart goes out to the people in Ukraine and their loved ones. So, it is very important for the entire global community to be strong today. Target Test Prep stands with you in this cause, and so I have decided to make a donation to the relief fund. #StandWithUkraine️ #SaveUkraine #WorldPeace

Thank you,
Scott

Thank you so much Scott!
We will also have sponsorship opportunities for our supporters during the 24-hour marathon. I will be in touch with you tomorrow with more details about opportunities to get involved in this initiative.

Thank you to those who have used the Indian site for Donations! We have 3,500 INR collected through that site which puts us over $9,000 in total!

Quick update, we have reached $10K in our fundraiser!

Thank you everyone who has contributed! I have added a $1 option for anyone who can't support any more than that. Every bit counts!

Our Goal is to Raise $24,000 for Ukraine

Thank you so much everyone who has supported our fundraiser.

1. I can assure you that your personal information will be kept private and not disclosed. We will not share your name or information with anyone or ever publish it anywhere.
2. I will send out thank you notes a tiny bit later. I really appreciate your donation and I am sorry we do not have any kind of a customized thank you message to confirm your donation. I will be doing that over the weekend. Thank you for your understanding 😇

Most of all - Thank you!

I am so screwed.

If anybody has requests for topics that you'd like me to cover during the marathon, please toss them into this thread.

Let me throw in a few of them which might be helpful to many of us and some of these might not require a lot of your efforts since you will be exhausted towards the end. (I really feel your pain already since I have a fair amount of experience of stretching 24-48 hours straight in the office drowning in excel and numbers)

Here are some suggestions:

- How to keep question constraints in mind while tackling quants?
- How to work on fixing the habit of silly mistakes? (I think one of your past videos covers this already)
- Top 10-20 silly mistakes people usually do and how to take care of them
- How to use answer choices to solve a question?
- Type of questions where one MUST use answer choices instead of solving it
- Some quants tricks for fast maths
- Using Venn Diagram for ratio/prop. questions

- How to differentiate between Premise and Conclusion in the stimulus?
- Few famous and repetitive idioms
- Usage of "Only" as Modifier
- "Because of" vs "Due to"
- Most common Parallelism
- Process of tackling a Sentence Correction question (I struggle with this)
- How to diagnose your mock test and what should be the top takeaways?

Towards the end, you can share your journey (your preparations, mistakes you used to do, what you could have done differently etc.) or something light that might be insightful.

I am sure you must have covered some of these in past so you may pick as per your discretion.

I might modify my post to add some more generic questions.

Thank you for doing this and more power to the people of Ukraine and to you! #Peace #StandWithUkraine #SolidaritywithUkraine

I did my part. Did you do it? If not, please donate for Humanity Sake.
With more than 1 million Ukranians currently seeking refuge in neighboruing countries, there is a immense need for food, shelter, water and care. WE HAVE TO HELP!

Many organizations are doing great work in neighboring countries to help refugees.
Recently , I am come across a work of these volunteers, who drove from all around Europe and UK to volunteer selflessly.

Volunteers from the UK, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria and Poland swiftly sprang into action to support the emergency relief effort on the ground. This has included setting up a mobile field kitchen in the south-eastern Polish city of Rzeszów, which has begun feeding around 1,000 hot vegetarian meals daily to refugees of all faiths and nationalities.

BAPS is also arranging accommodation facilities and coordinating medical assistance, and is working closely with the Indian government as well as local partners to further expand the humanitarian efforts as the situation escalates.

Vijay Kumar Singh, former Army Chief of Staff and current Minister of State for Transport and Civil Aviation, observed the tireless efforts of the volunteers first-hand in Rzeszów. He commented: “BAPS has always been at the forefront of community service, being the first to arrive and the last to leave. The people of India are indebted to your swift, selfless and organised action.”

Shailesh Bhavsar, a lead BAPS volunteer from Paris, added, “The situation in Ukraine is desperate and tragic. The priority is to support those seeking refuge by providing them with food and shelter. We are working closely with transport networks and logistical agencies to ensure the safe and timely delivery of essential services to those in need.

“Our volunteers are inspired by the ethos of Pramukh Swami Maharaj, who personified the motto “In the joy of others lies our own”, and there has perhaps never been a more opportune moment to embody this selfless spirit of public service by providing the basic needs for those severely impacted by the conflict.”

I am attaching few links that shows their work :

Yes, I do, hmm..
Could we discuss some hard CR Inference questions and a strategy to tackle them? Also show some light on how "some, many, most, all, at least, may" changes the complete sense of the statement.
In RC, you say there are no gimmicks and I completely agree, but could you teach us how to link back one para with the other and then link them all for the final meaning.

In Quant,
Inequalities and ratios, tips and tricks, like the wavy line method.
When Gmat mixes more than one topic with the other, like geometry and algebra.
Probability and Permutation, especially when these two topics are mixed.

24 hours is crazy by the way, even the idea of it. Hats off GMATNinja.
"We are running short on time" and "That's it for today" would never feel so important.

Thanks of course.
