Hi sherulporwal, I personally think you will be taking a big risk by not submitting an English proficiency test result. Most schools make it clear that international students are only exempt from this if the language of instruction in their university was English AND their university was located in ...

I am no expert but here is my 2 cents. A low GMAT score doesn't mean that you are not meant for B-School or that you should give up. It just means you have a low GMAT scores. Maybe standardized testing is not your strong suit or maybe its something else. But b-school admissions is a holistic process...

IMO C
In A, the "it" in "making it more than" is referring to the book rather than the copies in print. Same issue with D and E. In B, the usage of "which" lacks clarity as we don't know what it is referring to.

Hey Gokhra, I had gotten E too but checked it a different way with rewriting it as: is f^2> f^2-f ? When you put in a positive >1, you get the result yes when you put in a positive <1, you get the result yes too say you use a 1/2, you would get is 1/4 > (1/4-1/2) ? and then have 1/4 > -1/4, that to...

I don't think the equation simplifies to "Is f>0?" 1) f is not an integer: If we try f = 2.5 then f^2/(f-1) = 2.5^2/1.5 = 4.2, so it is >f If we try f = 0.5 then f^2/(f-1) = 0.5^2/-0.5 = -0.5, so it is <f INSUFFICIENT 2) f > 0 If we try f = 2 then f^2/(f-1) = 2^2/1 = 4, so it is >f If we t...

770 on the GMAT - Thank you BTG!

I didn't do close to this well on most of the practice tests I took. My verbal was pretty good to begin with for a non-native spea...
