Hi i am taking the test at New Delhi.. from where the test scores are pretty high.... so does this mean that taking the test at a centre where the median score is higher would make me take tougher questions or is it just a myth... I can reschedule my test to a less known and an average test centre.. would it help ....

No, location will not make any difference to the test you see or the score you get. It's the same test everywhere, and you are not ranked against the people who are in the same room with you.

thanks for this info...... by the way my larger query was that does GMAT repository have one central server or its different for different parts of the globe........ so in essence if i take the test in new delhi or new york... it would be the same difficulty level of questions thrown at me as per my performance in the test

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
