Test Center and GMACs responsibilities
Hi I have a few questions about test centers. If it's possible please, answer them. There's a lot of concern about test centers conditions. 1- How does GMAC (or pearson?!) choose a place to become a test center? Is there a code or specific standards that they have to meet? Do they have a guideline h...

Hi Rebecca, i have 3 questions regarding time issues and their effect on the score. 1- Some people say "your answers to the first 10 questions is very important because it makes the base of your scoring. so you should take more time for answering these first questions". Is that true? Cause...

These guides are great. Thank you VP & BTG.
All these guides are for the 15 top schools. What about other schools like 15-50 ranked schools?
Is there some place we can find such guides for other schools?
