Simplifying fractions quickly!
Hey guys, Can anyone help me simply this fraction in a quick method? I'm using traditional simplifying techniques and am wondering if there is a easier way around this? 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 1/2 (multiply top and bottom by 3) + 1/3 (multiply too and bottom by 2) = 3/6+2/6= 5/6+1/4 5/6(multiply top and bot...

Hey all, I know it has been long, so I'm going to let everyone know how my last score was. I did write the GMAT on July 30th and was not pleased with my grade. I received a 470!! I decided on getting a subscription to Magoosh instead of trying to self study. Even though I jumped out of the 300's ran...

Hey Becca, Currently I'm using Kaplan math workbook. For the Verbal, I'm using Kaplan verbal workbook. I'm thinking of buying the Magoosh premium plan to brush up my skills. I just signed up for their trial and really liked the reading comp. video. I think I'm going to start the videos and then put ...

Hey Becca and Marty, Thanks for the reply. And for sure will keep in touch. So far I haven't studied for 3 days (sister just had her first baby). But have been completing reading comprehension questions here and there. The reading with the logic and detail is taking time for me. Sometimes it's reall...

Thank you Rich & Marty, I haven't gone over my CAT test yet (will do that later on today). I will definitely report back here once I do. My main concern is my verbal score, I was confident that my verbal score would go up but really surprised it did not. How do I train myself to to do well in th...

Hey guys, I wrote my GMAT practice test and scored a 470. I'm still off from my goal though (550 is my goal for now). A 470 is way better than a 340 so I was happy about that but definitely need to improve. I got 15 wrong in the quantitive section out of 37 and 18 wrong in the verbal section out of ...

Hey Rich, I plan on taking my cat exam this week- will definitely post the results here. I agree with you on pushing my date back but then I will be applying for September 2017 (that's not something initially I wanted to do- but if that can give me a better score then sure). The schools I plan on ap...

Hi Rich, First off thanks for the reply. Second, I have been studying for the GMAT for 4 months now. Here's a quick background: I first started to learn my basics from khan academy and IXL, and then enrolled into the GMAT course, which focused on just the quantity of the questions and not enough tim...

Quants 19 Verbal 19- need direction
Hey guys, So after taking a gmat class that mainly focused on advanced questions on the gmat, and did not emphasize on basics at all (my instructor told me basics are not needed and for me to know math shortcut tricks rather than working out problems), I ended up with a 340 on my GMAT prep practice ...
