Josh,

I did my GMAT exam last wednesday, and I have a doubt about what pdf I need to send you in order to take 100$ back. So my question is, Can I send you the score they give just after the exam (in the test center)???Or Have I to air until the official score be send to me (around 20 days9???

Thanks in advanced

Hey! I want to do this! I took GMAT for the first time yesterday (got 670, nothing too exciting) and was thinking of doing the Knewton exam today or tomorrow. Thing is... I did get the printed "unofficial" scorecard, but I didn't get the email telling me where my official score is.

I looked around, and it seems that I need to wait (it says even as much as 20 days) until I get that email. Any way to work around this? Can I send Josh a scan of the unofficial and it's fine? Please let me know!

I just took the GMAT today, but it did the beating. Anyways I was wondering if I could use this score or should I wait until the next time I take it?

Hi esanchez,

you should be able to use your current score, even though the GMAT may have beat you this time around. Go ahead and take the Knewton CAT and see how you do!

marito and guillermosg,

I'll follow up with Josh to see if he can help answer those questions for you.

Best,
Bea

Thanks for the notes, everyone.

You do not have to wait. You can send me a pdf of your unofficial report, which you get the day of your test.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best,

I registered on the first link but I am still waiting for the mail with instructions. Done this twice but somehow I am not getting the email.

I am taking the GMAT soon and would like to try the Knewton CAT as well. (of course get paid $100 too)
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)

I just finished the CAT and noticed an interesting score algorithm. In quant, I got the first 5 and last 13 questions right and never missed more than 1 question in a row, and they gave me a 39. I missed a few questions because I didn't understand what was being asked, and I guess I need to have better understanding of combination and little more work on complicating algebra.

One more question. Is it necessary to send you the information as shown in the official report? I don't know if I like sending out my private information that includes my address and birthday, previous college information, and some other stuffs that I might have missed.

They paid out, so this promotion is definitely legit. Just send them your unofficial score card after you take their CAT and they send you $100

Hey folks.

The promotion is still running.

Sorry for any confusion. You don't need the email response. Just go ahead and sign up for our trial at

https://www.knewton.com/gmat

And take our Practice Test within 7 days of taking the real test.

And then email me a pdf of your unofficial score report from the real test.

My email address is Josh AT knewton.com

I pay folks on Fridays. I'll yank this thread when the promo is over.

Please email me with any questions. Thanks.

1. Do the following email ids have to match?
1. The id I used to sign up for the 7 day trial
2. The id I used on the link https://knewt.ly/1C
3. The id I used to book the gmat
4. My pay pal id

2. I signed up for the 7 day trial a while ago and the trial
has expired now. Does that mean I can't avail this offer?
