I would ask them the following:
For the Quantitative section:
Would you please add 5 more minutes for the quantitative section? .... > why? Because in my opinion the GMAT does not reflect the student's performance accurately in the quant section because of the time pressure. Some people would say that the business school's curriculum required you to do more work in a short period of time, well that's true, but the way that the GMAT forces you to solve the question within 2 minutes is totally different because most of the students who got good GMAT scores received their scores after a tons of practices which means that they got used to it and once they recognize the same problems in the test then they remember the way that they solved it earlier, which means the GMAT test your memory by memorizing such repeated problems not your way of thinking.
Business school is all about leadership and management skills, so I think they should give us one real case problem or a problem in a firm ...etc , so the student should take a decision on it within 2 to 3 hours and from each student's approach and decision they can evaluate him/her.
For the Verbal section:
What is the goal of trapping us on some of the answer choices? I think the goal of the verbal part is to show the School's Admission that the students can handle their materials and understand the curriculum well. Since the business schools did not have human science and/or any non-business topics on their curriculum, why the GMAC added these types of topics. Furthermore, if the answer choices were direct and clear then we (International students) can get the right answer and yet the score will still represent the correct level.
They should keep the international students' cases on their consideration while writing the verbal questions.
Good luck guys ..
Cheers, Abdulla
