Seems like a gimmick! It's $85 for me after applying the code. It was $90 before this offer and back then there was no additional tax :/

Hi.
You are right! The third party store that sells these have some geo-locating mechanisms... is it better/cheaper in local currency?
I think they use your location/billing address to switch currencies and there are some things going on related to currency payments. I was traveling once time and in Europe and they ended up trying to charge me in Euros and got confused because the billing address was in the US but I was buying from Europe. I had to use a VPN in the end as it would not give me the right price either...

Heyy BB,
Which state/country location should be add to get the lowest tax rate, in US address too it is charging 8.5% in Texas, 7.5 % in Durham states.
Also kindly confirm is there is any repercussions if we use any other country address since this is exam prep and has nothing to do with real time exam

You will be charged based on your billing address. You don’t have an option to choose a state without tax such as Oregon or New Hampshire.

Great, then we can use Billing address of Oregon/New Hampshire to get the GMat Prep without tax.
Is there any issue in using the test prep in India or any other location

Hey BB,

Interesting... I think you can try.... my guess is your card will get declined since it was not issued in Oregon but who knows...
However, it is between you and Indian Tax authorities (and probably God) in terms of how ethical this is :angel:

By the way, another product is on sale from GMAC until Aug 5th:

Premium GMAT™ Study Collection 2022
https://www.mba.com/exam-prep/premium-g ... ction-2022


Use promo code POWERUP30 for an additional 30% off – for a limited time only!

I have not seen it on sale before and this is one of the deeper sales I have seen so worth paying attention to if you are at a serious point of your GMAT Prep


Screenshot - the discount code takes it from 330 down to 230!
This includes GMAT Prep Tests 3-6 (which is right now about $72) plus the Question bundles, IR practice questions, and OG's.
It is a bit of a bloated bundle with the AWA practice and IR since few people really want to practice these but this is the best deal on the e-book versions of the OG's so see if this is what you really need. If you already have OG's then it is probably not worth it and you may want to piecemeal it instead.

Hey bb
Will these exams be available at a discount on Black Friday? If so, only on that day or leading upto that day from today or someday onwards?
And will it be coupon based or something else as in how to avail it if available

Thanks
