I cant really hear more stupidness (sorry for being harsh) than this one that gmat doesn't matter beyond a point, particularly 680-710 are very uncomptetive for INDIAN business schools...and they do look for gmat score as that is one criterion to show whe...

hi vaibhav.iit2002, Congratz for the score! Well, I view the GMAT as an entry point, not as differentiator: if your GMAT score falls within the range of the 80% of the admitted students of the school, you're ok, probably the other parts of your application will make the difference. In your case, I t...

Hey Nikolay, Thanks, I hope so. I'm from Romania. The problems in the test were indeed similar with the ones from OG11-12, the final 1/3 part. I think at the beginning I was doing ok, as I got harder and harder problems (combinatorics, algebra, geometry) but later on I felt the time pressure and sta...

Thanks.

Is y < (x+z)/2 ?
Hi, I found the following problem in the Gmatprep test: Is y < (x+z)/2? 1) y - x < z - y 2) z - y > (z- x)/2 OA is D . I tried the following way: 1. y - x < z - y => 2y < Z +x => y < (z+x)/2 - SUFFICIENT 2. z - y > (z -x)/2 => 2z - 2y > z -x => z + x > 2y => (z+x)/2 > y - SUFFICIENT So, the answer s...

I think it's easier to explain if we pick some numbers. Let's be a=3 and b=2 so points (-a,b) and (-b,a) are (-3,2) and (-2,3) both in quadrant II. 1. xy >0 Let's be x=4 and y=5, so (-4,5) is in quadrant II. But x could be -4 and y could be -5, so (4,-5) is in quadrant IV. NOT SUFFICIENT 2. ax>0 For...

Re: hardest DS in 15 testset
Hi, If x is a multiple of 6, it can be written as: x = 2*3*k, k - positive integer. If y is a multiple of 14, it can be written as: y = 2*7*m, m - - positive integer. So, xy = 2*3*2*7*k*m. 105 can be written as: 105 = 3*5*7 So, in order that xy to be an multiple of 105, it has to be divisible by 3, ...
