KAPLAN Gmat 800 "Advanced Quant"

I wonder what you guys think of this book? I found it ridiculous, as in ridiculously easy. I honestly found the vast majority of questions to be 500-600 level, not even 700. Did anyone else use it? I find it misleading because according to that book Im ready to score 800 but on mock tests and exampl...

The easiest and fastest method for me would be to chose and plug in a number. I let n=1 therefore in order for my avg to be 72% I would need a 74% on my next exam so only D gives the correct answer.

Hi nahid078, The correct answer is E . Most students will correctly eliminate A, B and D because of misplaced words and other egregious sentence structure problems. That leaves C and E to closely examine. C) Portable devices used for personal audio entertainment, such as digital cameras and cellula...

Hi Brent.. Had one doubt here.. I always thought 'rather than' suggests a preference and 'instead of' suggests an alternative... Keeping that in mind I choose, A. Please help.. Cheers, Dhara I think the main problem with A is that it is missing the word "at". Without it, it changes the me...

Paper and pencil

Hey Guys, Just a quick question. I remember when I did the GMAT a couple years ago I had a bad experience because they forced us to use a plastic sheet and a marker. That smudges the writing and instead of thin writing it was thick smudge. For a test so important as this we can't really afford to ma...

Hi prada, For a number to be a multiple of 990, that number must have the exact same prime factors (including duplicates) as 990 (but may have "extra" prime factors as well). This prompt adds the extra stipulation that N has to be as SMALL as possible, so after factoring 990, we need to f...

Hi prada, There are a few specific rules at play in this question that help to make the deductions that come later: 1) The triangle is EQUILATERAL, which means that the 3 sides are the SAME length (and by extension, none of them could be the diameter of the circle - since a diameter is the longest ...

Hey Guys, maybe there is some concepts I am missing but how did Brent conclude that the angles of the triangle are 120 degrees? From there the vertices would be radii? Is there some rule about inscribed equilateral triangles I don't know? I was trying to imagine the shape of the inscribed triangle i...
