Least number of pages - 130
Greatest number of pages - 150
Least possible pages of other books - 131, 132 ,133.
Average = 130+131+132+133+150/5 = 676/5= 135.2
So x > 135
similarly Greatest possible pages = 130+147+148+149+150 = 724
Average = 144.8
x < 145
So 135< x< 145 . Option E

Now, regarding the TOP MBA program- More depends upon your definition of the TOP B program. Harvard, Wharton,Stanford, ...

Once I have got 8 questions wrong and scored 50 in GMAT prep.But unfortunately I was mentally obsessed that I somehow wanted to get all of the questions right in the math section. Moreover I did a careless mistake that dragged the problem to 6 mins. That said I still was quite confident about the re...

baladon99 - The 30 point standard deviation is what the GMAC says - if you take the test on consecutive days you should score within 30 points above or below their actual score. It is called the score range. The LSAT now has a score range that you fall within. They give you the number say (176) but...
