Doclkk, I went from 620 (my first practice test after some study) to 720 on my real GMAT. It ain't easy, it takes a lot of time, especially if you are to improve the verbal part, but it's achievable. I cannot tell you though whether you will be able to achieve it or not, it's fairly personal. Good l...

Thanks Graham for your help and assessment! I know my TOEFL could be stronger, but as I took it almost two years ago I have to retake it anyway, and as I've been speaking english A LOT recently (my wife is a US citizen) I'm confident my score will go up at least a bit. So that should be ok. As for m...

There are many ways to reach the solution, but I agree that grouping them and multiplying is the easiest one.

Rajib, it takes a looot of practice to get a 40 on verbal, but practice on everyday life level. Read american-english newspapers, and try to analyze the reasoning behind every question on the OG guides. That's what helped me the most!
Good luck, and congrats on your score ahuria!!

Mayo,
I think you will get in in the end! And if not, well, UCLA is a great school and I was impressed when I visited it last December! So, you're not so badly positioned! Good luck!!

Ira, even though your gpa was quite low (no need to deny that), your GMAT is stellar, and if you take a couple of quantitativwe classes like calculus, accounting, microeconomics and get great marks you can show that you're academically capable and you can explain your low gpa somehow in your optiona...
