Topic: Don't post ScoreTop questions, or visit ScoreTop!
Fri Oct 26, 2007 2:47 pm

Update, 5/16/08: As of two days ago, it appears that the ScoreTop GMAT community has finally been shut down. Beat The GMAT welcomes all former ScoreTop members to our lively GMAT and MBA community! This community features: Lots of active and helpful members Contributing GMAT experts from Kaplan, Manhattan GMAT, Veritas and Stacy Blackman Consulting Discounts on GMAT courses and materials $25K in GMAT course scholarships for our members to date Again former ScoreTop visitors, welcome to Beat The GMAT! Click here to register now. *** Folks: You risk ruining your chances to go to business school by discussing ScoreTop questions, or by even using their website. I just heard from a very reliable source that it's NOT in your best interest to discuss ScoreTop questions on this forum, or even to visit the ScoreTop website. ScoreTop is currently being sued by GMAC for publishing live GMAT questions as well as other illegally copyrighted material. Here's what my source has to say: "Warn your users not even to go on ScoreTop anymore. GMAC is also threatening to (a) find out who posted the live questions, ban them from taking the GMAT, AND reporting the names to b-schools, and (b) potentially finding out who looked at or discussed items labeled "live" (that is, people who knowingly looked at live questions) and doing the same to those users." Be careful, and thanks for your help! _________________ Eric Founder of Beat The GMAT http://www.facebook.com/beatthegmat http://www.twitter.com/beatthegmat http://www.twitter.com/ericbahn Last edited by beatthegmat on Sat Jun 21, 2008 10:33 am; edited 6 times in total

Consequences of sharing actual test questions.. http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/02/21/sat.lawsuit.ap/index.html At the cost of repetition - Sharing actual GMAT exam questions on this forum is prohibited.

Kaunteya I dont think so, it wont affect type of questions they ask in GMAT; nor GMAC policies or style of conducting the test would change!

Eric, I received this "creepy" e-mail this morning offering some circuitous way to get back on www.scoretop.com. I am highly suspicious of such activity and hence decided to warn other users who may have gotten a similiar note in their Inbox. I've already made a couple of posts on BTG forums but wanted you to be aware of what I received via e-mail. --------------------------------- fromzhang belinda <belindazhang0310> tomihir.urs@gmail.com dateFri, May 16, 2008 at 5:23 AM subjectscoretop mailed-bygmail.com hide details 5:23 AM (6 hours ago) Reply ---------------------------------------------------- Dear member, This is an email from scoretop. I'm so sorry for this discommodiousness. If you want to access scoretop again, try following steps: Please open the following file on your computer using Notepad: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts then add the following line to the file: 218.201.122.107mihir.urs@gmail.com www.scoretop.com save the file, and then you should be able to access ScoreTop again. Best Regards, The ScoreTop Team GMATer ------------------------------------------ Please advise the BTG folks to remain watchful. _________________ A falling tree resounds... but a forest grows in silence...

I wouldn't mess with those instructions--they sound very suspicious! ScoreTop appears to be down permanently, so I wouldn't bother trying to resurrect access. _________________ Eric Founder of Beat The GMAT http://www.facebook.com/beatthegmat http://www.twitter.com/beatthegmat http://www.twitter.com/ericbahn

Update: 1000 SC will no longer be available for download from this website. Because these materials originated from ScoreTop, there is a strong likelihood that these questions are being drawn from illegal sources. Thus, they have no place in this community. Thank you. _________________ Eric Founder of Beat The GMAT http://www.facebook.com/beatthegmat http://www.twitter.com/beatthegmat http://www.twitter.com/ericbahn

Does it mean that we are not suppose to discuss the problems of 1000 series (ie. SC. CR) etc. on this forum or do we have freedom to discuss the problems on this forum irrespective of the source material? Please clarify... Thanks

I looked at the 1000 RC and CR docs. It's not clear to me that these were created by ScoreTop--do you know whether that is the case? _________________ Eric Founder of Beat The GMAT http://www.facebook.com/beatthegmat http://www.twitter.com/beatthegmat http://www.twitter.com/ericbahn
