Manhattangmat Archive

[gmattaket]

I am concerned with this set of question supposedly from Manhattangmat archive.

What is this? Are you aware of this Manhattangmat ? Also, if I purchase the Archive you sell, will I be getting that file?

Just need your clarification

Thanks

I clicked on the link but got an error message - can you check the URL?

As far as I'm aware, we only sell / distribute our materials from our web site or other obvious sites such as Amazon (or by phone from our offices). If you see some random source trying to distribute things with our name on it - don't trust it!

Particularly if someone's distributing stuff to the general public online - that's illegal, and we will find them and take legal action eventually... (And, also, stealing stuff? So not cool. How can we invest in things like the free forums for everyone if people start stealing our materials? Just Don't Do It. :)

Thanks for the heads-up about this - if you could, please check that URL and send an email to techsupport@manhattangmat.com with any details you can tell us so that we can make sure we stop people from stealing our hard work!

Okay, I checked it out. The file contains questions from our Challenge Problem Archive - definitely our material. Couple of things:
- we didn't post it ourselves; someone stole it
- you don't want to study those as a primary source anyway - even if you got them from us

At least half of the Challenge problems are harder and / or more time-consuming than anything that would ever appear on the test. Unless you're a math major who finds absolutely all other materials way too easy and you just feel like challenging yourself well beyond what the GMAT will ever do... don't bother! Study from pools of questions that are more representative of the real thing.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, by the way - the site will be getting a "cease and desist" letter posthaste. :)
