From the the question we know that A and N>1 and 8! is a multiple of a^N 8!=40,320. Clue one tells us that a^N is 64- 40,320 divided by 64 leaves 630 which is which is equal to 2^1*5^1*7^1*3^2 so the prime factors of 40,320 are 2^7,3^2,5^1,3^2 so the only integer greater than raised to the power of ...

Question on TestDay
I just went through mba.com and couldnt find the answer to this. Do they provide you with earplugs or can you bring your own? I know it is a rather obscure question but I have been practicing with earplugs and given the level of construction that is happening in lower manhattan I would like to avoid...

I have been using OG11, including the verbal and quant supplements. I feel as if there were a few overlaps in the GMATPREP as well, definitely that number line one where you have 1/5 and 1/7 hash marks and they want to know what the smallest distance between the ticks is, although I think it was pre...

Discreet- the way I learned this in school, which was a while ago, when referring to the digit two decimal places from the right we would call it the "tenths" digit. So in your expamle you have hundreds, tens, ones, tenths, hundreths, thousandths and therefore when the question is asking f...

Its when you look at the anser choices and three of them look one way and the other two are another way for example. If you have A and B using "which" as the first contruct of the underlined portion and C,D and E use "that". So you have 3 choices using that and 2 using which, so ...

I concur with Harry's asessment on the first one, that is exactly how I woul dand did approach it. For number 2: let x =100-the number of total votes out there 60 remain becuase he recieved 40 of the orignal 100 you need 10 so you are looking for 10 out of the remaining 60 which =1/6 ot 16.67 Pluggi...

Nice score-congrats. I have a question for you regarding your statements about the quant on the "real" test. What specifically was more diffiuclt on the "real test" relative to the gmatprep? I have heard many people say the opposite, and I am just curious what you thought. In my ...

I agree on A its concise assuming that the as/since issue is just a typo which I am pretty sure it is. B seems wordy and awkward. C, D and E are unidiomatic

D and E change the meaning B makes it sound like the brown rice is virtually unavailable and the pronoun "it" doesnt have a clear referrent Between A and C I guess the issue stems from "delicacy fit for a gourmet" and "gourmet delicacy" personally I think the two have s...

After having worked through the majority of the quant in the OG and virtually no verbal, I noticed approximately 2 quant overlap questions in each of the powerprep tests I took, and 1 or 2 in the Verbal section of each powerprep. I did work through all quant and SC in the two smaller books as well. ...
