Isn't this in the wrong forum? Anyway... In my opinion, Kaplan's scores are off. Older Kaplan CATs by as much as 80-100 pts off from what I've heard, and the newer ones still about 20-40 pts off. Their Quant is definitely harder than actual GMAT. I don't know what Crack-GMAT is (the first test you ...

Thanks for sharing this. Could you pls provide more info on your quant methodology? I see you did the Kaplan course and its HW along with practice tests. But what was your protocol for outside of these? Cheers. A lot of focusing on my weak areas early on. I was rusty in proportions, then it was rat...


Fabulous William and Many congrats. Could you please share more info about "4) Kaplan Online Quizbank " vis-a-vis actual GMAT questions. Is it worth to spend $200? thanks. Well, for me, it came with the online course I paid $800 for. If you're thinking about taking a course, I would defin...

I took longer than 8 minutes on my first break.... and then I spent almost 10 minutes on one of my Quant questions. ------------------------------------------ But, I'm happy with the final score... relieved that I'm done with it for the most part.

Hi, I am also enrolled in Kaplan's course. Where do I go to see the target 800 video? PS - your story about your experience with the Kaplan's scores are eerily similar to mine.
It's in the online center under "my assignments", under "the week after class ends"

What's the shortcut here?

I feel like there should be some shortcut here rather than having to do the actual math....

Pratyoosh, the answer as Shovan described should be 133 and not 134. You cannot round off 133.33 to 134 for following 2 reasons: 1) Number of people has to be whole number. 2) since 133.33 < 133.5, rounding off would lead to 133 and not 134. Hope it clarifies. That's not entirely correct.... you're...
