GMAT score advice
Dear Lisa, I'd be grateful for your advice on my GMAT score. I think I need a sense check as I'm thinking too much about it and cannot assess reasonably any more... Question: Would you recommend retaking GMAT? My best score to date is 700=90 percentile (Q50=95 percentile, V34=69 percentile, AWA 6.0)...

Causation question
Can somebody please be so kind as to explain me why the ans is E and not D (example comes from Kaplan's GMAT 800 - but I still don't get the explanation). Reading skills among high school students in Gotham have been steadily declining, which can only be the result of overcrowding in the schools. Wh...

Difficulty of DS in OG
I've done all DS questions from OG and although I made some mistakes, I found the questions relatively easy (overall). I read that OG11 is sorted by difficulty level, but even questions at the end of the chapter were not so difficult. On the other side I saw in the Internet some DS questions which a...
