Hi,
I just took my first manhattan online test, non-adaptive. I noticed that valuable seconds were ticking away as i was waiting for the next question to appear. My network connection is pretty fast ~4Mbit up/down.
is there any technical solution to this? I have no idea how to estimate the download time. Is there a MGMAT computer lab/class in NorCal where you can take the sample test where the data resides locally?

thanks, -Mark

There is not a center in Northern California at which you can take a test, unfortunately. If you are worried about this, you can set the timer to 76 or 77 minutes instead (you can pick any timing you want for the tests).

More importantly, however, don't use the non-adaptive tests for anything but individual question practice. If you're trying to put it all together and mimic the real test, take the adaptive tests.

"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."
