tips on filling out application form and a question

Hi friends:

I don't see any discussion on filling out the forms. I wonder if there are any cautions to be made.
For example: I don't know how significant honors and awards should be in order to be included. Can someone help me with this? What if I don't have anything significant?

thanks,

J

Why is AWA 5.5 only 76%?

Can someone please explain why 5.5 on AWA is only 76%? I thought 5.5 was high, but 76% seems very low.

Thanks very much?

Thanks to kevincanspain. A follow-up question: Given my professional work is teaching humanities subjects in a high school, do you think my V35 would be viewed curiously weak? That is to say, the admissions would logically expect a higher score than 35 on the verbal section from someone in my profes...

how much the unbalance of Q49 V35 690 hurts my application?

I just took the test today and scored Q49(87%) V35(73%) 690? I know that 690 is not a bad score, but the imbalance between Q and V is problematic. I'll appreciate any comments.

I'm aiming at London Business School and schools in the same league.

First of all, it is "have", not "has" because of "will".

Will not only meet... but also have

now you are down to B and D.

Then the difference is "of doing" or "to do."

In GMAT, "to do" is usually the right choice.

between the two, the latter is right.

"that" should follow immediately the noun it modifies without a comma.

"help to do" or "help do"

In GMAT, is there a rule on "help"?

Is "help" followed by "to do" or "do"? Does GMAT have a preference?
