It a great score! The question is, why did you get only 4 hrs of sleep? Please debrief test day if possible. The day before the GMAT I spent a lot of time studying throughout the day. I tried to go to sleep at 11:30pm the night before, and I couldn't fall asleep till 5:00am. I am not sure why, I wa...

I am debating taking the GMAT again since my Verbal was routinely around 39-40 in the practice exams. So based on that score along with my low GPA as stated above in my profile (2.6 at a top engineerin...

GMAT did me in...
my score ended up a 700 (Q:50 V:34). I am so disappointed with this score. I know I am taking it again (since my practice exams were (720+ routinely). I just don't know how long I should hold off before taking it again. I do feel I was greatly affected by only getting 4 hours of sleep the previous n...

This is really helpful advice. Though it might be too late for me. One of the biggest things I noticed about the GMAT Prep and OG CR vs the other prep CR was the length of them. Are the actual GMAT CRs all very lengthy or do they vary as they do in the OG? Also, I take it speed is just a matter of p...

Mike, Thanks for the reply and I agree with most of what you are saying. I do feel, however, that once you start to get into the range of taking the exam more than 3 or 4 times, it can start to have an adverse effect on your application. It is my understanding that although the admission committees...

Hi Lisa, I also have a low GPA profile. I had a 2.6 at top engineering school. I did have some extenuating circumstances. However after graduating, I have 5 yrs in Business IT Consulting with a Big 4 firm. I am about to take the GMAT in 2 weeks (realistically looking at a 680 to 720 score). I have a...

I think the answer is A. 1) Sufficient because factors are: 1 and (a^4)(b^3) a and (a^3)(b^3) a^2 and (a^2)(b^3) a^3 and (a)(b^3) a^4 and b^3 so on so forth... clearly you can get a distinct countable value for the number of factors. 2) Insufficient because it only states 5 and 7 are prime factors.....

I think it is E. 1) XXX + 150 = 4XX The numbers that satisfy this condition range from: 250 to 349. So therefore the hundreds digit can be 2 or 3 and Insufficient. 2) XXX + 25 = X7X The numbers that satisfy this condition range from: X45 to X54. So therefore the hundreds digit can be 1 to 9 and Insu...
