Can we have another tab on the forums to specify the source of a question along with Replies, Author, Views, and Last post? The idea is we should be able to avoid any question without even going through it. Why this is important? For example, I haven't taken the GMATPrep2 yet. To gauge my true ability, I would like to have all the questions in the test to be fresh. However, most of the time all tough questions have been already asked on the forums, and in test you find that you have already seen most of the questions. This spoils the whole idea behind taking the test. By having this feature one can avoid going through questions from the tests series that one is going to take.
I literally stopped participating on the forum, after I realized that I had already seen all the questions in PowerPrep1 on the forum.

Thanks for this suggestion. We've looked at an implementation like this before but have been unsuccessful in finding a solution that works well.
I'd love to hear more to get us brainstorming toward a better solution.

If you don't mind, could you share what were the issues in implementing the feature? On "New Post" page, we can have this as a mandatory drop down field with “unknown” as an option. While posting a new post, poster has to select some source.beatthegmat wrote:Thanks for this suggestion.
