GMAT Club World Cup Competition
Join us July 11 - 22 for 2 weeks of fun GMAT questions to help with your prep and to compete with your fellow GMAT Clubbers!

Team-based competition | Solve Questions to Win Awesome Prizes

GMAT Club World Cup is GMAT Club's Annual SUMMER Competition based on GMAT Practice questions. This is an amazing opportunity to get motivated, attempt never-before seen and brand new questions, and win some cool prizes! If you are a hard worker and dedicated, this is a great opportunity to convert your hard work into an expensive course while studying and improving your score all along! I really hope you will join us this year and use this opportunity. Please use the JOIN THE COMPETITION button below (or one at the very bottom of this post to REGISTER :cool: )


Important Dates

    July 4th: Registration Opens. Click Join the Competition Button
    July 11th: Competition Begins at 8 AM PST/11 AM EST/8:30 PM IST
    July 22nd: Last day of Competition
    By July 26th: Winners Announced





How do I Participate?
First, you need to register.
Then on July 11, you will be able to start competing by attempting questions with the timer and posting explanations to never-before-seen questions. You and Your Team will receive points for a number of activities as well as opportunities for bonus points. See below the point earning table for details about activities and points. Team and Individual points earned will be reflected on this page below in your Dashboard.


What Do You Mean "Team-Based"?
This competition is team-based, which means one of the 4 teams will win and all winning team members will receive prizes.


What Prizes are Available?
Big thanks to our sponsors (see the full list of sponsors below) we have lots of prizes for both the winning team and also the Top 3 players in each team.

GMAT Club Tests (2-week access) - $20 each | 500 licenses available for the winning team | Total Value: $10,000.
- 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 July 26th, right after the competition ends.




Math Revolution | 50 Courses available | Total Value: $10,000
- You can be the lucky winner of one of the 50 Math Revolution VIP courses. Your access will be valid for 3 months with access to over 2,100 challenging quant questions developed by some of the best minds at Math Revolution!





Manhattan GMAT | 3x GMAT Interact Courses - $999 each | Total Value: $3,000
We are thankful for Manhattan's support of the World Cup competition by providing unique, challenging, and very valuable questions to be used in the competition. This support truly means a lot to us!






GMAT Club Forum Quiz (1-month access) - $14.99 each | 500 licenses available for the winning team | Total Value: $7,500.
- No ads or distractions
- GMAT-like UI
- Take multiple questions at a time on GMAT Club
- Timer auto-start
- Over 100,000 questions!


Total Prize value: $30,000 The prize list is still expanding and we will update it as more prizes are added.




Will Everyone Win Prizes?
  • Everyone on the winning team will!
  • The team that gets the most points at the end of the competition, will win. Every member on the winning team will receive access to the GMAT Club Tests for 2 weeks.
  • The top 3 players on each of the 4 teams will have a choice of the top prizes (the winning team's 3 top users will have the first pick), and then the next 9 will choose their prizes based on the point ranking
  • The remaining prizes will be distributed among the users based on the points earned. Each user is limited to 1 prize. We have a lot of prizes and expect over 500+ people getting something (Full disclosure: the majority of those, will be getting GMAT Club tests for the winning team). In other words, 9 people from non-winning teams will also win prizes based on the above.



How Many Teams Are There?
There is a total of 4 teams: Team Messi, Ronaldo, Team Mbappe, and Team De Bruyne


Can I Choose My Team?
No, the assignment is random. You will be given your team name when you Join the Competition. Also, your avatar will reflect your team's colors


Which Team am I on?
You can review the roster for the teams: Team Messi, Team Ronaldo, Team Mbappe, and Team De Bruyne
You can also look at your avatar and the label at the top - the color corresponds to one of the 4 teams

Congratulations GMAT Club World Cup Winners!


Congratulations Team Ronaldo!
Fantastic job working as a team and leaving everyone else in the dust - amazing result and an awesome job! As a prize, your access to GMAT Club Tests (2 weeks) and Forum Quiz (1 month) are enabled for the entire team! All 227 of you.


Special surprise for the Team Ronaldo!
You will get access to the newest and latest version of the GMAT Club tests - nobody else has had access to them yet and you will be the first ones! The new GMAT Club Tests include full-length test experience including section order selection and you will take AWA, IR, Quant, and Verbal in whichever official order you wish. Also - GMAT Club Tests now include an Enhanced Score Report (ESR). Since the GMAT Online does not seem to offer it for the online test, we figured we would add it to the GMAT Club tests. I appreciate your patience and understanding since this is a very new product :angel:

PFB few questions related to the competition:
1. Max daily World Cup points per person per question: i think it would be 130 (10+10+10+100) instead of 120. Or is it that I have misinterpreted something- may be if we get a kudo for posting explanation, we will just get additional 90 points?

2. 30 timers can be taken from previously solved questions in our error log, right? Or should it be only the unsolved ones?

3. Can you please confirm whether 24-hour day reset for taking 30 timers is Noon PST or Midnight PST or 8 am PST? There is a contrast in the post between Noon PST and Midnight PST. Further, as per my experience, reset time for earning reward points is currently 8 am PST, so I guess it would be the same for 30 timer reset. Also, new questions in the competition will be posted at 8 am PST.

4. Can you please elaborate on the point that the timer is setup to track performance on your end in such a way that we need to mark an answer choice between 6 seconds and 6 minutes (both inclusive) and is not specific to the competition? In the past, I have taken more than 6 minutes to solve a question, however, I have received daily timer reward point for the same.

5. Experts, Instructors, Tutors, Moderators, and Administrators are not eligible to earn points (though they can still participate in the competition - their points will not be used): Then what's the point of them being a part of any particular team?

Good question! We won't know until a few days into the competition. Usually whoever has the most points becomes the captain... or whoever you want to vote for :cool:

I can see Bunuel is in the Team Mbappe, and I am part of the team Ronaldo. Not sure where nightblade354 is.... but none of us can actually earn points :angel:

I can see Bunuel is in the Team Mbappe, and I am part of the team Ronaldo. Not sure where nightblade354 is.... but none of us can actually earn points :angel:

I joined and got Team Ronaldo too. bb and nightblade354 teaming up for the first time. Guaranteed win with this duo.

For the record, I am the captain now.

Unfortunately, your points won't be counted into team points. So no winning guarantee for your team :shh:

Unless he has extrasensory powers to channel the team spirit and motivate the team to participate
This is actually a big key to success of a team since people will get discouraged, frustrated, and will give up at some point during the competition. Keeping team spirit up is a huge driver for success!

Speaking of which, we will be offering Certificates to the Top 10 winners of this competition. I will make them myself and distribute among the winners 😎🥳🤩

The moderators who are assigned to specific teams will try to give more and more kudos for their team member's explanations. This is Grey area. Moderators and GC staff should ideally be independent of any team.

Kushchokhani, I'm 3-1 in these events. As bb mentioned, it's all about the ability to motivate your team (like any good coach or CAPTAIN would do).

And to alleviate your concerns, moderators giving points are not participating (even if they have a team name). They are fair and neutral.

Thanks for your patience.

1. Answered above.
2. Yes, you can take any timers of any questions
3. I just checked and the 30-timer reset happens at midnight PST so it is within those 24 hours. (Points are calculated and post at noon but the reset happens at midnight) This competition is not related to rewards so there should not be time connection though I can see how one would logically go there but not on the GMAT - that's too far of an inference ;-)
4. You want to be within the 6 mins and 6 seconds so that your attempts count. Again, this has nothing to do with rewards and is a different system/process. It is not really a competition if you are "solving" a question within 6 seconds - that's not reasonable and it is also not reasonable to take more than 6 mins.
5. Anyone can join to participate including Tutors and Moderators to support the competition but they won't accrue points. Why would we keep them out is my question back to you.... anyone can support their team and be a part of the competition but not everyone can earn points for fairness.

Thank you. I think you are onto something here. It should 130.

PFB few questions related to the competition:
1. Max daily World Cup points per person per question: i think it would be 130 (10+10+10+100) instead of 120. Or is it that I have misinterpreted something- may be if we get a kudo for posting explanation, we will just get additional 90 points?

2. 30 timers can be taken from previously solved questions in our error log, right? Or should it be only the unsolved ones?

3. Can you please confirm whether 24-hour day reset for taking 30 timers is Noon PST or Midnight PST or 8 am PST? There is a contrast in the post between Noon PST and Midnight PST. Further, as per my experience, reset time for earning reward points is currently 8 am PST, so I guess it would be the same for 30 timer reset. Also, new questions in the competition will be posted at 8 am PST.

4. Can you please elaborate on the point that the timer is setup to track performance on your end in such a way that we need to mark an answer choice between 6 seconds and 6 minutes (both inclusive) and is not specific to the competition? In the past, I have taken more than 6 minutes to solve a question, however, I have received daily timer reward point for the same.

5. Experts, Instructors, Tutors, Moderators, and Administrators are not eligible to earn points (though they can still participate in the competition - their points will not be used): Then what's the point of them being a part of any particular team?

Onto the mission to win the world cup for my team by properly understanding each and every rule of the game.

Request you to reply my queries. thanks.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Priceless stuff - it is kind of funny but I was thinking of what could one take away for a longer term and something they could use in their application or other extra-curriculars perhaps if they have nothing else.... :|

Thank you for posting that. Let me ask the same question again. Sometimes people confuse a.m. with p.m. so let’s see

Hi bb!

Quick question about bonus 2: is there a time limit within which we need to post an explanation to get the bonus? Or do we have 24 hours to post the explanation?
(For e.g., in bonus 1, the time limit is 120 mins. And I remember there was some sort of time limit for posting the explanations in the Christmas competition as well).

Hey bb

Under topic Which Team am I on?

I guess the hyperlinks for Team Ronaldo & Team Mbappe have been interchanged, which might create a bit of a confusion so kindly check that out.

Thanks!
