I don't know if I beat the GMAT -700
I first took it on October 23 and got 640 and 5.5 on AWA. On December 6, I retook the test and my score was 700. I don't know if I beat the GMAT because while my Q is 49, my verbal is just 35 :(. I feel like I messed it up! 35 on verbal is just a 74 percentile. I am worried :s. Will the admission co...

Do we always start from the top when the problem says four consecutive sides? Thank you for the explanation: it helped! A trapezoid has consecutive sides that measure x, 2x, 3x, and 2x. If one of the angles of the trapezoid measures 60 degrees, what is the area of the trapezoid in terms of x? Answer...

Yeah the square root of 10 is not 5. I feel like the dumbest person alive! Thanks! Yes, that is wrong. It looks like you're trying to solve it by taking the square root of both sides, but 5 is not the square root of 10. In any case, that is not the best way to solve it. Start by everything you can o...

Simplifying algebric expression
If (x - y)^2 = 10, and if x^2 - y^2=2, then what is the value of (5x+5y)/(6x-6y) ? Answer Choices: A. 1/6 B. 1/5 C. 1/4 D. 1/3 E. 1/2 My approach is somehow wrong i guess because I don't get the right answer. I started with calculating x-y= +5, -5 (is this wrong?) and then plugging the value in the ...

The recently negotiated North American Free Trade Agreement among Canada, Mexico, and the United States is misnamed, because it would not result in truly free trade. Adam Smith, the economist who first articulated the principles of free trade, held that any obstacle placed in the way of the free mo...

What I think is that you need to know the context before deciding what's important. A simple sentence would also do. The cat was very cute. This sentence looks good to me. Also the one I posted (with commas, also looks good to me) As far as awkwardness is concerned - I don't think adding 'that' wou...

Grammar-wise, both D and E are correct! However, E changes the meaning of the sentence. "and moves so infrequently..." tends to say that this is not connected to "the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery limbs". But, the question tries to say that the sloth hangs from trees...
