You can only reschedule your test a week before the actual date for $50. After that, if you change the date, you have to pay the full price.

Thanks Viju, looks like I obsessed over the range. The fact that the distance is supplied definitely makes each choice sufficient. Thanks for your help, it was the first time I encountered a rate time distance question with inequalities.

Hey Viju, thanks for the great post. The ratio question seems so easy now. In fact I've done questions like that before and got them right. Careless mistakes tend to be my biggest enemy on the GMAT. I appreciate your input for each question, but I have big beef with the Rate Time Distance questions....

Additional SC resources?
So I'm spent on all SC resources. OG 12, verbal review, Veritas SC. I've heard some things about 1000 SC, mainly that lots of the questions and answers were debatable. Also considering you could get banned from taking the GMAT if you get caught with it, I don't think I want to use it as a source. So...
