I suggest having a conversation in the topic dedicated to the scavenger hunt.

I see. I think you are searching for what the system was not built for

1. All tags must be present means that all tags must be present. Other tags may be present too. It does not mean ONLY those tags. The search looks for at least all those tags.
2. There are no "exclude tags" so you can't exclude certain tags such as GMAT Prep


Yes, that's exactly what i was thinking. So, i believe it's better that i don't attempt those ones that have GMAP Prep tags.

The intent was actually to not use the GMAT Prep questions and keep them for Prep tests so that there's no score bump.
Thank you for your inputs. Anyway i will check for ways to utilize that feature better.

I feel that MartyTargetTestPrep thoroughly refuted a GMATCLUB Verbal CAT question in this post
https://gmatclub.com/forum/v12-227178-20.html#p2280713

yet I still had the question in a CAT today.

Last week I had two questions in a verbal CAT that I (and other users) feel are wrong

But the top question is refuted by a V51 expert.

Why are we only sending GMAT Club tests questions as Quant QOTD? Can we not include questions from other sources?

I am saying this because I am starting to take full length Club tests so that basically prevents me from solving QOTD.

Thoughts?

That's a harsh way of criticizing.

You mention no facts, no experiences and no specific points and still want us to believe what you are saying about any particular course?

Yes I was harsh...I enrolled in their course (verbal only) wasted about 2 months getting no where. Then I realized that their “rules based “ methodology which is based on remembering a 1000 rules and trying to apply them is useless for the majority of questions. Their RC explanations are a joke. That time wasted caused me to postpone my gmat and miss one round if admissions. I am not even sure how they have so many fake reviews. Their emails claiming to make people jump from 600’s to 700’s in 100 days etc is another marketing trap that wastes a lot of time and money for the students and the community.
I am a student and not associated with any other test prep nor getting paid to post this out. I can post redacted versions of their subscription receipts and email correspondences if you wish. But the point I am trying to make is to not have someone starting new on GMAT be baited again with their over the top marketing.

I would suggest you go ahead and post your own review for e-gmat. Make sure your review is verified otherwise yours can be treated as fake too.

While I understand you might have had a bad experience, It is not right to claim that all the reviews out there are fake.

Yes. They are good at marketing. I personally feel this. But no course is perfect. What works for one may not work for someone else.

Keeping that in mind, I suggest you start looking for what works best for you, not just a course but approaches for each section and I wish you all the best for your journey ahead.

Thank you but I am done with my gmat journey and have moved on to apps. A verified review means nothing to me and my review will be drowned by many more “positive” marketing reviews anyway. So if you really care for the community the come up with a way to equalize the reviews rather than acknowledging that their marketing is good! If you think the priority of a test prep company is more than the $$ and time wasted by hundreds if not thousands of students then I am sorry for you and I have made my point.

The Top 10 badges were missing and nobody realized that?

I see they are appearing again or may be I wasn't in Top 10 so I forgot about those?

Hi. People have noticed but we have been slow to fix things unfortunately. I think they’re getting fixed now and starting to show up.

Congratulations I guess? :-)

Thanks... I saw Top 10 PS in my profile.

Then I realized wait Bunuel used to be in Top 10 for all categories so may be the badges were missing altogether :lol:

GMAT Score estimate stuck at Sub 450 despite solving multiple questions for all four sections(with decent accuracy I would say), score never seems to be updating. It used to be updated but not anymore now. It would be great if the issue could be resolved as it's a good motivation to see yourself progressing.

Thank you for posting. I tried a few versions and resolutions but It looks OK to me... perhaps try refreshing and see if that goes away?
(I know that it looks strange in the tests however for some strange reason.
