Word count for essays (Rotman in particular)
Hey Guys,
If an essay has a word count max of 250 but I have said all I want to say in 170-200 words, will that reflect poorly on me? Is the expectation that I go to as close to the max as possible?

What I would do for this q is plug in some numbers to make life easier. So pretend a=2 and b=3, plug into each answer choice and see which works.
E: f(2+3=5)= -15 and f(2)+f(3)= -6 + (-9)= -15
So they equal each other and thus is the correct answer.

I think you might have a typo in your post...m=3m would imply something like 1=3 which is of course impossible

Haha thanks for the insight, David! Given this though, all other things being equal, wouldn’t righties therefore have an advantage on the exam over lefties? (I’d be interested to see a study comparing lefties scores vs righties!) Righties can right away (pun intended ;-) in whatever way they are...

"to make" or "in making'?
Hey Guys, In the sentence: We were dismayed to learn that our neighbours were untidy, disagreeable, and they were uninterested to make new friends. Are either of these fixes equally correct? uninterested in making or uninterested to make Or is one more correct than the other? And if so, why? Thanks!

Hey Guys,
I'm happy I wasn't the only one confused by the wording of this question! I also take "can" to mean "is there a possibility that". The answer to that of course, would be yes. (since in some cases it is possible, others, not).

What to do in addition to taking GMAT course
Hey Guys,
So I signed up for the Manhattan GMAT course but was just wondering, in addition to the course material we cover in class, what, if any, additional studying should I do?
