Winners Per Team: PERSEUS: ACHILLESHERCULESODYSSEUSPRIZES: Also, huge thanks to the PRIZE SPONSORS of the GMAT Club Olympics - The Economist, Target Test Prep, Experts Global, EMPOWERgmat, and Scoreleap. We have a whooping 85 Prizes!All ODYSSEUS Members will be awarded 2 weeks of
GMAT Club Tests and
Forum Quiz Subscriptions by the end of the day today.
The top 90 users by Points will be receiving an invitation to fill out a form to mark their preference for the prizes. There are only 85 prizes but someone always does not respond and there are leftover prizes, so we will have 5 waitlist candidates.
Important: You will need to mark which prize you wish you receive and in the order of priorities. If the prize is available by the time I reach you, you will get it. Your priority level/ranking has no bearing on your chances of getting a prize - it is only a preference.
Prizes will be awarded in the following order: Overall winner. Top 3 of the winning team, then Top 3 of the other teams, and then everyone else based on the points down to 36 people. I will be sending a link to you via a PM in the next 24 hours or so. Then there will be a 48 hour period for filling out the spreadsheet and then I will be assigning the prizes based on your preference/priority and availability and you can expect that list to be finalized on Monday next week and prize distribution to start on Tuesday September 7th (Monday is a Holiday)
Let me know if any questions.

GMAT Club tests are some of the best and well-known practice tests for those looking to improve their quant score. These tests were written by moderators such as Bunuel and others to help prepare you for the unexpected. These questions do
not force you to do excruciating calculations or needlessly waste your time.
GMAT Club tests focus on combining multiple concepts and present you with questions you have not seen before, just like the hard quant questions on the GMAT - forcing you to find a solution to a question you have never seen before.
- Your access will start on Aug 31st, right after the competition ends.
