Hi Marty, I took the GMAT yesterday and scored a 760! Pretty happy that I finally reached the ballpark that I was targeting. Your advice about analyzing your own weaknesses and finding out what exactly it is that prevents you from getting to the score proved priceless. The bottlenecks turn out to be...

The gist of it is available at this link: http://lifehacker.com/5965889/how-to-run-windows-xp-for-free-in-windows-8 Effectively you're running a virtual Windows XP inside your Windows 8 OS.

Moreover, my problem (in verbal) is less getting the correct answer, more doing it quickly enough - so I am quite frustrated that I haven't scored that 750+. I just noticed your use of the word "frustrated". Now there is a clue. The entire idea, being frustrated, is one that slows people ...

Hi Marty, silly sounding question, but how did you get those to run on Windows 7+? I am using Windows 8 and am unable to run those Powerprep tests. Compatibility mode does not seem to work too. Hi sanghaha. Not a silly question. I think they incompatible with any Windows version after 7, and if the...

The decision between Option B and Option D is not that lucid. In many RC passages there are two speakers one is the main author who is the writer of the passage and the second speaker who is not the author of the passage, but here the case is different.

Verbal Section
Hi sanghaha, First off, a 730 is an outstanding score (it's well above the 90th percentile overall), so you can apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest is almost certainly not necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficia...

Probably taking a full test the day before your actual test is not the greatest idea. However, taking just a verbal section on Monday might make sense. For one thing, after practicing slowly, you need to reaccustom yourself to working quickly. Also, in taking a verbal section you could work on appl...

Hi @Marty, Would love to know your thoughts about which material to use for practicing verbal. I have used the OG and some other test prep companies like Magoosh and the Veritas online questions on and off. I have taken the official exam with a decent score (730 w V38). However, my goal was higher a...
