Tuesday Update:
I am traveling for work and that slows down my ability to work on the site and also post updates of what others have done, so here are a few additions to GMAT Club:

1. New thread - How to get the most out of GMAT Club website - a guide that will help our new members learn about managing subscriptions, using avatars, and navigating the site more efficiently
https://gmatclub.com/forum/t76228-how-to-get-the-most-out-of-gmat-club


2. Chat now displays Chat Status in the forum, so at any point in time you can see if any of your friends are chatting online (screenshot attached). To access chat, click on the "Chat" tab at the very top of this page.

We are working on building an iPod Touch/iPhone GMAT Application. If you would like to get involved or provide your comments on the suggested feature set - now is the perfect time. We would also need some testers later down the road.

Weekend Update:

We started a new project - Top 20 on GMAT Club - a popularity ranking. We count number of times a certain term is mentioned, such as a book name, a school, or anything and provide you with the latest trends in the Test Prep and MBA communities.

First out is the ranking of GMAT Books - this is all-time Top 20, but starting April 1st, we will be keeping track of all books on a month to month basis.

First Edition of Most Popular GMAT Books is Out:

I think the question you should be asking is not only is it close to the real experience, but what level of difficulty are you aiming for?? It's quite possible that somebody that scores 99% V will give you a different response than somebody that scores 70% V. I think if you can frame it the way that MGMAT does (700-800 level, 600-700 level, etc), that would be helpful as you analyze your results and create new questions.

Very good point :!:
Main reason I did not ask about difficulty is that I did not provide the answer choices yet - that's next step

Gotcha. I may not have been entirely clear in my initial response (happens regularly :). I wasn't referring to “answer choices” as in A,B,C,D,E, but answers in response to the question you are asking.

How cloose is this question to the Real GMAT or Official Guide?

Is not close at all
Is not close
Is average/undecided
Is close
Is exact match

Somebody that regularly scores 99% V may say "Is not close", when a person that scores 70% V may say "Is close" if the difficultly level is a 650 level question. Reason being is that the 99% V person isn't seeing 650 difficulty level questions on the exam. I suppose that's what I was getting at. Make sense? :-D

Perfectly Clear - I almost got that from the first post - I am not as fast :oops:

1. We have moved to the new host and got a Dual Xenon Server with SCSI hard drives and other fancy items to keep the site fast. Some of the features are still being transitioned and tested.

2. Timetrader started as the new Content Manager at GMATClub - he will be responsible for organizing our posts and making sure information is easily accessible. His first post is an overview of all the GMAT Cat Tests on the market - https://gmatclub.com/forum/all-gmat-cat-practice-tests-links-prices-reviews-77460.html. His next piece will be on GMAT Books. If you have any ideas for a good post, information to research, or questions - feel free to PM me or Timetrader.
