Happy Black Friday!
Hi, as tradition holds, let's share the best Black Friday deals and discounts on GMAT Prep - courses, tests, and anything else GMAT Related, and perhaps some airpods or study-related items. I would especially be interested if anyone gotten a GMAT Prep Software tests 3&4 or 5&6 that we can get a discount on
Top Deals (post yours too!)
1. TTP has a 20% off (not sure if it is one month or multiple months but it is a rare deal and wont' improve in a long time.)
2. MGMAT Has a 20% off courses - this is a REALLY good deal. I have not seen MGMAT courses at 20% off before
3. GMAT Whiz has an additional $50 off
4. Magoosh has a 20% off though it is a fairly typical discount they run every few months (still, probably the best deal they have, though not spectacular)
5. Math Revolution has 20% off
6. EMPOWERgmat is offering a $50 Giftcard when you sign up for their course - this is probably the best deal on EMPOWER I have seen.
What is Black Friday?
Black Friday is a colloquial term for the Friday following Thanksgiving in the United States. It traditionally marks the start of the Christmas shopping season in the United States. Many stores offer highly promoted sales at discounted prices and often open early, sometimes as early as midnight[2] or even on Thanksgiving. Some stores' sales continue to Monday ("Cyber Monday") or for a week ("Cyber Week"). Occurring on the fourth Friday in November unless November 1st is a Friday, Black Friday has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year in the United States since 2005. (Source: Wikipedia)
The earliest known use of "Black Friday" to refer to the day after Thanksgiving occurred in the journal, Factory Management and Maintenance, for November 1951, and again in 1952. Here it referred to the practice of workers calling in sick on the day after Thanksgiving, in order to have a four-day week-end. However, this use does not appear to have caught on. Around the same time, the terms "Black Friday" and "Black Saturday" came to be used by the police in Philadelphia and Rochester to describe the crowds and traffic congestion accompanying the start of the Christmas shopping season. In 1961, the city and merchants of Philadelphia attempted to improve conditions, and a public relations expert recommended rebranding the days "Big Friday" and "Big Saturday"; but these terms were quickly forgotten.[6][7][8][9]
The earliest evidence of the phrase Black Friday originated in Philadelphia, dating back to 1961, where it was used by police to describe the heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic that would occur on the day after Thanksgiving.[10][11][12][13]
The use of the phrase spread slowly, first appearing in The New York Times on November 29, 1975, in which it still refers specifically to "the busiest shopping and traffic day of the year" in Philadelphia. Although it soon became more widespread, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported in 1985 that retailers in Cincinnati and Los Angeles were still unaware of the term.[14]
As the phrase gained national attention in the early 1980s, merchants objecting to the use of a derisive term to refer to one of the most important shopping days of the year suggested an alternative derivation: that retailers traditionally operated at a financial loss for most of the year (January through November) and made their profit during the holiday season, beginning on the day after Thanksgiving.[6] When this was recorded in the financial records, once-common accounting practices would use red ink to show negative amounts and black ink to show positive amounts. Black Friday, under this theory, is the beginning of the period when retailers would no longer be "in the red", instead of taking in the year's profits.[6][14][15] The earliest known published reference to this explanation occurs in The Philadelphia Inquirer for November 28, 1981.[16]

Thanks
I have scoured the internet and found a few more deals. Frankly if you are considering a course, these will be the best deals. At the same time if you were not considering a course, I don't know that any of these would really tempt me to change my strategy.
