Need a mandatory drop down box to quote SOURCE

by JK. » Wed Nov 24, 2010 5:17 am

Different users of this forum are in different stages of their preparation. Hence, one might want to or might not want to work on questions from certain sources. For instance, I don't want to look into GMATprep questions right now as i want to use them exclusively to assess my preparedness.

As of now, threads hardly indicate the source. It is also difficult to educate and train every user to quote the source. Hence i request forum admins, to include a new mandatory drop down box in the Post new topic form. The drop down box can have values such as Manhattan, Princeton Review, OG 12 to quote source while discussing problems and also have values such as Concept, Strategy , General to accomodate ideas not related to any specific question.

This will be of great help in choosing questions to work on. If you share my thoughts, please opine.

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.

Thanks JK for this suggestion. We're actually actively working a solution to solve for source--not a drop down, but a different technique that we think will be more effective.

Too early to reveal much detail right now, but you'll see some changes soon!

Thanks again!

"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."
