I get an answer of E. Let x = price of cupcake, y = price of donut, C = # of cupcakes, D = # of donuts. You are given that xC + yD = 6, and want to find D. (1) 2y = 3x - 0.1 (2) (x + y) / 2 = 0.35, or x + y = 0.70 Either statement by itself is insufficient to solve for D in the first equation given...

Re: Ok
What about GMAT Focus? Was that helpful? I asked about the correlation between MGMAT and GMATPrep because I found MGMAT math a lot more complex than the OG. Thx. GFocus is very good but if you have the OG 11 and 12 I heard you won´t need the exercises. Nevertheless, it could help you to evaluate s...

Hey El Cucu, Sorry you did not hit your target score. Don't lose hope however! You're a fighter... You say you were disappointed with the verbal section and received a lower score than expected. I wonder whether fatigue did not have anything to do with it? Did you take your practice tests with AWA?...
