Well said rockyB. As i mentioned earlier, i plan to give the gmat again in August. I started preparing some time ago and have been scoring pretty well in Quant on all the practice tests i took. I am also feeling pretty confident in Quant. My plan is to improve accuracy in DS section, where i found that i was making mistakes.
Planning to concentrate on verbal section from now until end of month and then a final push to the summit.

Law of increasing cost and law of diminishing return.

@ben: awesome! sounds like a good plan. best wishes for ur retake!

@alpha800: i had taken economics in high school and the only concept i seem to remember now is law of diminishing marginal returns

unfortunately, that seems to apply everywhere you look nowadays
