We noticed you are actually not timing your practice. Click the START button first next time you use the timer.
There are many benefits to timing your practice, including:
Then please save yourself time, misery and energy by not going further. Cause.. It is definitely a bumpy road to achieve those rewards anyway.
Then why the hell did I spend time studying this process, and even writing about it?
Because I want that Manhattan CATs + Question bank so badly and I can't spend 75$ (around rs.6,000 INR). So I thought I could do the process I laid out for points and get it as a reward in a calculated time frame. But then I realised that points are ok but It takes a lot to get those 100 kudos (requirement to get reward I was talking about) cause I am just 11 kudos down now and points struck because of it Now, I am figuring out a way to get that 6K INR instead and I don't want anyone like me to get into this without being unarmed so writing my experience.
Here we go..
Difference between tires and badges
Tires are like the goals we want to achieve and badges are the steps to be fulfilled to reach that goal. We need to meet a certain number of kudos and points requirement parallelly to go to the next tier. We get badges in the process of acquiring those required points and kudos. What is the use of badges then? They give double points / single shot bonus points when we achieve a badge.
Required kudos and points for each level up/ tier up
1. Bronze 0 kudos & 10 points 2. Silver 25 kudos & 100 points 3. Gold 50 kudos & 200 points 4. Platinum 100 kudos & 400 points 5. Diamond 200 kudos & 700 points Note: I wrote “&” not “OR” Both of them are mandatory to level up (to go to the next tire).
Effective ways to earn the rewards:
Get the badges because the badges give double points. => points when we are working to get the badge + bonus points once we get the badge.

Note: We can earn these badges how many times we want. => If you follow this process consistently for 2 months, you will get Bottoms up badge and Buy in badge twice, circle back badge thrice, and engagement badge 6 times. => 440 points in 2 months. Ex: check bb's and bunnel's accounts and their badges dashboard in the right column. Every badge is multiplied by some number. Because you know bb and bunnel are everywhere in the GMAT club forum (posting, answering, trouble shooting) and this is the result of that

Don'ts
Create fake profiles for kudos. The GMAT club will find out. Create small talk posts for post count/kudos. Like “thank you”, Awesome”, “love your post”. The kudos you get for these small talks will be deducted after a few days by the system or manually.
What about kudos? How can one get them?
They can only be earned by posting quality content or genuine thoughts in GMAT forum / GMAT club chats. No shortcuts. (At Least I couldn't find one)
Ps:
I really respect the process of kudos and points which rules out the useless posts and motivate the community to be interactive, active, and quality oriented. I am just putting together all I learnt about this system which took lot of time to know and understand. I hope people fine this post sooner and be sure what's going on.
