This is a phenomenal app!

I have a quick question: If I buy the Manhattan Sentence Correction Strategy Guide within the app, will I have access to the 6 Manhattan GMAT online tests as well as the Sentence Correction online question bank? These come with the hardcopy of the strategy guide, but I wanna be sure I'll get these in the app as well.

That's a great questions!

All books inside of the app are e-books with the same rights for free CATs and additional questions as e-books for Kindle. We are going to ask Manhattan GMAT one more time to be 100% sure. You may wait or ask them directly here: https://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/acc ... 12862.html

Ha... That second post asking the question in that link you posted is me :)
Since I guess I'll be the guinea pig here... Making this purchase and registering for the 6 practice tests, if I end up not getting access to these tests for whatever reason, can you assure me I'll get a refund? If yes, I'll go ahead and purchase the SC guide.

And Walker... That idea of making the MGMAT SC sbook... It's great! SC is obviously the achilles' heel for many of us.

Yes, I guarantee you refund as for a pioneer :)

I don't want to disclose to many details but I was thinking about smart books for a long time and now we have a chance to implement it (Thanks Manhattan GMAT for allowing that!). I'm really passion about this idea, although it's not going to be easy.

We have heard the feedback from Manhattan GMAT and yes, the tests and online question banks are included in that price (WOW).

Quote:
Buyers just need to forward their receipt over to us along with their MGMAT login credentials and we’ll credit them the CATs and matching question bank. This is the same process we use for other e-books.

For the practice questions on this app, is there anyway to do it so that the app doesn't give you right/wrong after you submit the answer. I.e. It would be great if I wanted to do 25 practice questions and didn't get any answers until I was done with everything?

Sorry, you can't do that now. We are working on Quiz mode and going to add it in next updates. Not sure about 1.6.1 update but definitely next after 1.6.1.

Walker,

That would be excellent! I think it is the perfect way to practice stuff from the forums! Any insight on when those two updates would roll out?

Thank you.

1.6.1 update is pretty big with a lot of new features and one new tool. So, it's going to take 1 month for sure. Maybe we will include Quiz mode in 1.6.1 but it all depends on how fast we will implement all other ideas. I will keep informing you through this thread.

If you have any other idea, just let me know.

Thanks,
Walker

We have finished a new tool for 1.6.1 update. It was a long challenging journey (at least 1 year) and up to 10 absolutely different prototypes.
I would like to introduce you first step toward a new direction in test prep - GMAT GAME. Here is a few main principles behind it:

- fast questions that test only one particular concept used in GMAT and can be solved fast (up to 10-20 sec)
- auto-generation. You can't (consciously/unconsciously) memorize answers because each time you get a question with relatively unique data. It has a huge advantage in mastering your skills as each time you have to apply a concept and there is no easy way around it.
- it's a game with levels, high scores, lives, and stars :) (Do you remember Angry Birds? Cut the Rope? It's something similar but for GMAT)
- it's challenging. The maximum score for one topic is 10'000. To get it, you have to answer all questions not only right but also very fast. (I will post my highest score later.)

In 1.6.1 update we introduce one topic - "Properties of Numbers".
It's a new thing and we can't forecast whether you will love it or find it useless. So, your feedback will be highly important in shaping this direction and helping us to add new topics.

Thanks for using GMAT ToolKit for you preparation and for your feedback! As you see we keep moving the app to new uncharted territories that potentially can help you prepare for GMAT even better.

More screenshot later today.

Best,
Walker

Finally got a working prototype of an interactive book! That's really cool!
There is a big chance to transform all Manhattan GMAT books to interactive format in a 3-5 weeks. All books will be available for free upgrade once 1.6.1 update will be released.

Walker

Sounds interesting concept. I hope you will make some kind of video to show what really you are talking about. Not all of us have digital MGMAT books.

Here is the first part of screenshots explaining how an interactive book will work. As you may know all Manhattan GMAT guides have links to the Official GMAT Guides problem sets. In interactive book you can directly open the OG tracker, answer questions, and see the results incorporated in the book.
