Beat the GMAT on retake!
Took the exam yesterday morning in snowy New Jersey - and I accomplished my Target Score! Had a great experience at the test center. With a blizzard approaching, I was for sure the exam center was going to close down for the day. To my surprise, I called up that morning at 6am (they said that if it ...

Half the time Statements A and B are both insufficient?
Going through the BTG flash cards, I came across this: INSUFFICIENT: Half the time statements (A) and (B) are both INSUFFICIENT. Is this true? So does that mean that 50% of the DS Answers will be Either (C) together or (E) neither? And that half will be either (A), (B), or (D)? Is this proven to be ...

Help With Work Problems
I was reviewing the BTG Flash cards and I came across this flash card. Can someone help explain to me the concept of 'inverting' here? In the example, is A the amount of time? For example: If machine A makes 5 gallons per Hour and machine B makes 8 gallons per hour, then how many can the two machine...

Yes, I understand how to get there. In my practice, I calculated that correctly. But I was under the impression that *value* in the question's stem " for how many values of n is an<100?" includes all rational numbers. So my question is: Are all 'values' considered integers? I thought all v...

Algebra Sequence & Series
This problem comes from OG 12 #45. If r is a constant and an=an for all positive integers n, for how many values of n is an<100? (1) a50 = 500 (2) a100 + A105 = 2,050 NOTE: an is read as function of n... in essence... f(n) My questions is what is the GMACs definition of value? I went through this pr...

That's great advice. I'm in the process of going through each problem that I currently did... reading through the OG explanations. I do have a few of the MGMAT Quant Guides... I have Word Translations and Fractions, Decimals, and Percents. Do you recommend another? Here is my situation. I take the G...

The better strategy is to just take the time to learn how to do every problem in the officical guide so you are adequately prepared for the exam. Otherwise, you are rolling the dice that you won't be asked a question with the same fundamentals as the problems you don't know how to do. So what your ...

OG 12 Difficulty Levels & Scoring
I know there are different levels of difficulty in OG 12 - Easy (1-77), Medium (78-154), and Hard (155-230). My question revolves around scoring percentiles. See, I've gone through the questions... timing myself as if it were a real exam (minus the CAT part). On the easy level, I moved pretty effici...

Awesome! Thanks. I can get basics like that, it's just I fumble a lot when it comes to more complicated algebraic manipulation. Does anyone know if the Manhattan GMAT series covers algebra well?
