I asked for help and GOT IT! 750 (Q50, V41)!
I want to start off by saying I like to do things my way. I’ve never needed help and I’ve never asked for it. I self-studied on the SAT and scored 2270, I also self-studied on the ACT and scored 34, and I was convinced that I could self-study to a high score on the GMAT. Totally wrong. I had to ...

Hi, I just wanted to chime in here. I'm also prepping with EMPOWERgmat and have been for some time as well. At first my scores just improved a little bit, but since then both my verbal and quant scores have gone up quite a bit. I think I know what made the difference. Earlier on I think I was treati...

Thanks for your helpful input about B, Jim.
I'm also curious about getting some other expert explanations, ideally from Mitch, or Marty Murray? I'd appreciate it if possible. Your reasoning really resonates with me. Thanks!!

karanbhalla2001, I like your post. It's almost like you went into the test center this time fearless. It's a good attitude to have. Can you offer any advice as to how to actually pull it off. I think I can have that same attitude, but it's one of those things that could be easier said than done. Vicky

I'd go with B here. (B) much of the local artisans’ creative energy was expended on the creation of Buddha images and on construction and decoration of the temples in which they were enshrined To me this seems like the only option that's parallel. Also, logically, "they" has a clear refe...

Hi Tanuj,
You are a perfectionist! You are done with the GMAT. Everyone I talk to says the adcoms don't really care once you're above 700. I'd be quite happy to be where you are.
