Congratulation.

Lately, I have ben hearing, Quant is getting harder...What is your experience. How do you compare GMATPREP quanta with Actual GMAT Quanta.

Quant was tough really tougher than GMATPrep, but not on the same track as MGMAT.

I remember one question where none of the answer choices made any sense. I solved a big number and the answer was not present in the choices. I repeated my calculation four times and each time ended up with the same answer. So in the end just pick the largest number available from the choices...

There was one combination question, no permutation or probability and too many coordinate geometry questions. There was one question from linear inequalities.

Simply jat

Congos firstly..

Did i read it right that you scored 730 on your first attempt ? What made you retake your exam then? Was it because of the choices of college you have made?

Aditi, I struggled with that question, too. In the end, I spent 1-3 hours a day, 6 days a week for two months leading up to the test. If you shoot for an hour a night, you'll be surprised at how quickly it passes.

That said, give yourself some time off, too. Decompress. If you're stressed and frustrated while you're studying, you won't retain information.

I got a 770 too - congrats SimplyJat!!! I know how hard it is! :)
