680 (Q: 46; V: 37) with pacing problems
Hi everyone, Just wanted to share a bit of my story as I had pacing problems that I just could NOT shake, so I accepted this as one of my weaknesses and tried to focus on my strengths. I know that only a 700 is considered on this forum as "beating the GMAT" but I'm rather happy with my sco...

Hi, I'm a bit confused about this part: to get s = 10 the co-ordinates of each side of the square should be at a distance of 10 from (0,0) lets say the vertices of sq are at (x,y), using the distance formula x^2 + y^2 = 10^2 Since we know both x,y are integers the only possible values for x,y in qua...

Tatiana, Can you explain this part? I'm having trouble understanding how we determined that n would have a negative slope? Thanks! r ----------------------- 1) Both have y intercepts above y=1 Since n intersects higher, then we know n had further to descend, so its slope is steeper (but more negativ...

Hi Eric,
Thanks for this. In such case, where could I get 2 more practice tests from?
I've done all PR, the Kaplan sample one, a Veritas test...and I've scheduled in the 2 from GMAT Prep.
I need 2 more. any suggestions?

GMAT Prep - CD vs downloadable version
Hi guys,
So I have the CD for GMAT Prep, but if I want additional practice (ie 2 more tests), can I also use the two downloadable exams on the website?
Would there be too much overlap?
Thanks,
R

Hi Ian, Thanks for this. I'm not a fan of probability and P&C - so this is good news. In last night's practice test (PR), I had 6 probability and P&Cs in a row. Finished with a 45 in quant. Good to know there isn't a correlation. Whew! Because if there was, it would be pretty hard for me to ...

Re: Retake the GMAT a 3rd Time?
1. Last week I only got to Quant question 27 and then I had to guess on the rest because I ran out of time. This resulted in a Quant test score in the 55% percentile. Do you think my downfall was pacing? How much can guessing on the remaining questions impact your score? I'm guessing a lot. Hi ever...

I did notice that when I had a really good quant score on a practice test, there were 2-3 probability questions, but on a test where I score a pretty average quant score, there were 0 probability questions. So I assumed there was a correlation. So, Ian, are you saying there is no correlation? And th...

I have awful issues with RC as well...mostly towards the latter end of the practice exams when my focus and energy are fading. Writing is the only way to maintain the focus and keep your brain on the paragraphs in front of you! Does anyone have other tips for RC? I'm great with CR and fine with SC, ...
