Hey all;
Usually I just answer questions here, but today I actually have a question for the community:
I have heard that the new IR section is being tried out as a bonus extra section after the GMAT, and furthermore that if you do really well on it, they'll give you back your $250 registration fee (as a way of motivating people to try to do well on it, so they can gather useful data). I'd like to know, from people who have taken the GMAT recently, if this is in fact true.
The reason I'm so curious is that I've long wanted to re-take the test -- I got a 780 in December 2009 and would really like to try for the elusive 800, but I'm not willing to spend $250 just for the sake of bragging rights, or for when I'm debating with Ron Peruwal, lol. So, if this IS true, then I will take the test (expecting to earn a free pass) soon and write a very nice review for everyone here of what the hardest questions looked like.
So, have you taken the test recently? Did you get a sample IR section, and if so, was there a reward mentioned? Does anyone know where there is confirmation of any such policy? Please let me know. Thanks, and see you around BTG!
