Also I have to give thanks to this website. Without it I don't know where I'd be (probable still studing). The resources here are just as good as those prep courses, but free!

Eric, you're the man!

Here's my debrief. Got a respectable 680 the first time but I was still disappointed because I didn't reach my goal of 700+. So I planned on taking the GMAT again. The essays were easy. Just memorize an essay format and plug the information from the passage into the essay. Being mathematically incli...

Rectangle : 1. Diagonals of rectangle bisect each other.
2. Diagonals form four congruent triangle.
Correct me if I'm wrong but diagonals of a rectangle do not form 4 congruent triangles.

If objects fall when the burrow collapses, objects that were actually from a later period (eg. middle layer) might be thought to be from an earlier period (eg. lower layer).

If this is the case then the archaeologists' evidence is all discredited.

IMO, Tangents can be considered intersections. So if a circle just touches the triangle that would be 1 intersection. i guess that's the way to have odd numbered intersections. Picture a circle intersecting the triangle's legs twice on each side while being tangent to the base. That makes it possibl...

I'd say D.

I don't think it's C b/c placing "whereas" at the beginning of the sentence creates an awkward construction.

I was hoping to get the GMAT over with before I begin working. I've just finished school and wanted to take the GMAT while my brain was still in "student mode" since the scores are valid for 5 years.

Although I'll be working, I should be able to study 2-3 hours per day.

Q46 V38 O680 So my plan on the exam was to definitely get the first 10 questions correct on each section. I figured that this shouldn't be that difficult since I've been achieving that on the Powerpreps and Gmat preps. However, on the third quant question I was completely stumped. When I finally fig...
