congratulations on the score. I won't be surprised to see a very good IR score. Your quant was pretty decent and I don't think IR is very difficult. In fact, for a lot of people it has yielded a greater than expected score. (if that helps!) If you attempted all the 12 questions (even if the last 4 w...

I'm Back.. 770 (Q51, V44)
Request you to go through this first: My 1st attempt I scored a 770 (Q51, V44) on my retake. It was pretty emotional for me. Right after I saw my score, I clinched my fist, and then freezed for 10 secs. Came out like a retard - mumbling “I’m not coming back�. All I remember is, people asking m...

680 is a decent score and people do get into good schools with that score. But if you were doing so well in the mocks you should probably give it another shot when you are ready. Also as you're from India (overly represented demographic) it makes sense to push your score as high as you can. You do h...

But should we not use 1970's for possessive and 1970s for plural form (for the years 1970,71,72...) ? That is a question of academic interest (in the sense that this knowledge is inconsequential to solve this question) because 1980’s appears in the non-underlined portion of the sentence and we cl...

for e.g. in this sentence : In the 1980’s the rate of increase of the minority population of the United States was nearly two times greater than the 1970’s rate of increase of the minority population of the United States It seems that you are interpreting "1970's" as a possessive in t...
