Damn' it's painful to perform an MGMAT online CAT test!

Who in hell decided that the session expire so quickly? Each time I finish one essay, it messes up the whole gmat test experience as I have to fight with cookies/sessions expiring too quickly. Relogging doesn't always work straight away, so I have to fight the system and piss myself off.

They better fix that quickly or I'll brag about that issue and diguste future test takers from using their tests. Their books are excellent, but their online CAT is just a piece of crap.

EDIT: For God sake! Now all I see is a blank page when I go to manhattangmat.com!!! :arh

EDIT: Don't tell me their website is down for maintenance! What kind of service is that?

Thank you! So there is definitely a problem on their side, and it happens just when I wanted to take a test... Now i'm pissed off and no longer in the mood of taking a test in acceptable conditions. I'll just chill out today and profit from the sun shining outside.

I am able to log on.

I haven't tried their test along with AWA yet. But If you feel it is the session, I can suggest a workaround.

Go to AWA section, copy the text, and suspend exam. then write AWA in timed fashion. once you are done with AWA, go for regular test.

I hope this works. I am sure you are aiming for better test scores, and can ignore minor inconveniences that try to deviate you from your goal.

Yesterday I had faced a similar problem. I was on last question and after clicking the answer, the screen went blank. For 30 minutes, it was blank. Then it resumed and prompted me to enter the answer once again. I was pissed of with the score. May be it happened that my score got convoluted because of this interruption.
I can understand your frustration.

Today it went better. But sometimes, when I submit an answer, the browser hangs waiting for the next question. I then [strike]prey[/strike] pray the browser doesn't time out, losing my answer and messing up everything.

Concerning the session expiry, now every 10 minutes, I open a new tab in firefox and go to manhattangmat's website to refresh the session.
