Cool. I'm going to give this a try as my GMAT test is scheduled for 2/27...and who doesn't like being paid to study?

Feedback will be posted when completed. FYI, there are a lack of instructions on the testing pages, but nothing too complicated to figure out.

Nice, just finished the two essays and made $30. At the end of the test they give you a link to download and print a W-9 form and instructions for mailing it in. Check will arrive 3-5 weeks.

There were two essay questions, on for evaluating an argument and another for establishing an argument. It's pretty familiar stuff to those studying for the GMAT and a nice exercise.

Thanks again Creationstory!
