I actually scored 730, while my averages were 760, but for me the test was extremely more difficult than offical prep test...

hallo! I got your same 730 - 49Q - 40V after a couple of 760 on the official tests... where did you take the test? this is somehow important, don't know why, but I have a theory about it... Believe me, the actual test, on the higher level of questions, is MUCH harder than the offical prep test, so, ...

don't want to offend you, but I think that if you retake the test with a 730 you are stupid.

BAD BAD experience...but I screwed the beast!!!

Hallo everybody Premise #1: I studied on the 3 OGs + Kaplan 800 + McGrawHill Guide 2009 Premise #2: I took MANY MANY simulations... 6 paper MGH tests; always between 2-4 mistakes in Q and 5-9 in V 6 computer MGH tests: Q was hard and V was easy... 700 - 740 - 740 - 760 - 740 - 740 5 computer CATPrep...

pick numbers to check if B is correct

A = 48

A + B + C + D = 75

C = D

that's all we know

example 1
C = D = 11

then B = 5

C = D = 10

then B = 7

Hence we need statement one to answer... so...C!

I have found that the solutions that solve the first statement are: 3 and 2/3 and therefore statement 2 eliminates the first, hence C

however it took me 8 minutes...because I could not find many number to satisfy the first equation...any idea on how to make it quickly?
