As you have lot of time now before the admission cycle starts, I ...

Hey welcome to the betathegmat community.I myself is returning from a long hiatus. Do post your test scores and ask specific questions so that you get the right answers. Follow the experts like Brian and Ron. That helps a lot too.

Hi Abhi, I am a non-native speaker, so let me share my experience. When I answer a quant question, I know whether my answer is right or wrong - no two ways about it (a silly mistake could do us in, of course). However, in verbal section, I am never sure of the right answer. Unfortunately for me, all...

@kirankuchi Thanks. Old version is called powerprep. I am not talking about that. Powerprep is also good, but it has lot of questions from OG.

First thing you should do is to take GMAT prep I. No other test will give you your true level than this. Take the test. Analyze the test in DEPTH. How the questions are asked? How you are answering them? In what content areas you lack the required knowledge? Where do you need more practice? How your...

x/y < 1

so: x < y
Hey Chufus,

This is wrong. You can't mulitply or divide variables in inequalities unless you know the sign of the variable. Look at ripulgupta's explanation.
