GMAT Kolaveri,
Thanks for the reply but I am not concerned about anxiety on the test day. I am facing this issue only on math section. That too only in last 10-12 minutes.

From A we can safely assume that set will always have Positive numbers. Be it {3,6,9...} or any other combination. However, from B we get Negative numbers as well as 0 which is not a multiple of 3. For e.g. let 6 be there in the set, then we alos have 6-3 in the set. So we will also have 3-3 in the ...

If xy < 4, is x < 2 ? (1) y > 1 (2) y > x OA IS B . (1) y > 1 If x = 5/2, y = 3/2, then xy = 15/4, which is less than 4. Here x > 2. If x = 1, y = 3/2, then xy = 3/2, which is less than 4. Here x < 2. No definite answer; NOT sufficient. (2) y > x If x = 3/2, y = 5/2, then xy = 15/4, which is less t...

Thanks for the explaination Anurag. It took me 2:32 min to solve this question with all possible combination. I have mostly overlooked importance of re-phrasing the DS question while studying Manhattan Guides but now I see how important re-phrasing is. With the re-phrasing, question could have been ...

Thanks a ton Ron!! I was eagerly waiting for you to reply and I must again appreciate that your analysis is truly exceptional. Especially DS part and trap answers. I just finished watching DS lecture and taking notes all along. After that I solved some 15 DS questions randomly picked from OG and I g...

@Jim: Thanks a ton for the reply. The point you made "You will know which things you got wrong because you haven't brushed up, and which ones you got wrong because you lack key strategies or understandings" was perfect and perhaps I was not able to see this. :) Right! I am right-away takin...

Hi Gandalof, I am not an expert but from whatever I have read, seen in interviews of people who got accepted at Stanford like schools, most of them have Manhattan Guides in their repertoire. I am also using Manhattan Quant guides. If you have inclination towards advance math, then these guides will ...

Hi, Is 1 not considered a factor? in this case if we have k/15=I => k=15*I => k=1*3*5*I thanks for your help! 1 is a factor but it is not a prime factor. The smallest prime factor is 2 (2 is also the only even prime factor). I Googled the entire question just to understand why 1 is not consiered wh...

I solved this by taking first 3 prime numbers.
let, a = 2
b = 3
c = 5
a^2c = 20
ab = 6
abc = 30
LCM is = 60
Factors of 60 =>
60,30,20,15,12,10,6,5,4,3,2,1
So answer must be 12

I somehow confused it with powers and roots. n^0.5 is the square root then n^-1 is also??? Sorry, It's been quiet a sometime I have lost math touch that's why asking such silly questions.

Can you please tell me how did you determine 2^.5 = 1.4? Is there any method to find this out?karthikpandian19 wrote: Case 2:
If x = 2
x (x^0.5) - x = a
2(1.4) - 2 = a
0.8 = a
Statement I and II eliminated
