SC- Manhattan Gmat always over estimates your verbal score. I was scoring low to mid 40's and only recieved a 35 on the test. That being said, my scores shot up once I learned all the Sentence correction rules. The manhattan gmat SC book is the best book out there- no one has ever disagreed with thi...

You think you have it bad, listen to what happened to me! Test #1 I took the test the first time after studying for about 2 months. I wasn't ready at all but signed up and decided I would take it to get "first time nerves" out of the way. I didn't really care what I was going to get going ...

Mgmat plus Gmat prep gives you 8 exams. The gmat prep you can take both twice at least without really seeing new questions-thats a total of 10 exams. You don't need more than that and these are the only tests that are really the most accurate, from what everyone has said...

Look at the diagram I did- Its the "3 line" method- I use it for every diagram/ven question and have yet to get one wrong... It works every time and it could be done it 20 seconds.... Practice making the chart.. In this problem just solve x+3x=60 x=15. 15 people use both brands A and B.

My 2nd and hopefully last attempt
I am taking the gmat for the second time next week. The first time, a month ago, I received a 570: 41/28. I went in scoring mid-high 600s on manhattan Cat's and gmat prep. I went in thinking I was going to take it again as I wasn't ready for the 700 just yet. I had never received anything higher tha...

Funny because I just took a practice test and this was my last CR question- I got to the answer by process of elimination. A is correct because there looking for a reason why the program will actually help the government. A says that currently, because of the lowered prices, the government is gettin...

B.
1) U is positive but V can for example be -4. This would make the left bigger than the right equation. However, if v is 7, the right would be bigger than the left. Not Sufficient
2) Since V is positive and we already know U is positive, the left will always be less than the right. Sufficient.

I would say A. Any number that comes out to a multiple of 45 plus 30 will end in a 5 or a 0- making the remainder 0. 2- An example can be either 48 or 21 which would give you two different remainders when divided by 5.

I don't understand the formulas- I think they are very confusing. I have been doing the "3 line by 3 line" method- and I don't think I have gotten a ven diagram question wrong since then. With this method- this question took me 20 seconds- and I am not quick at all. Try it out- I attached ...

^ Ya so I have covered the basics of those now and am very comfortable with them. I have scored a 47 on the last 3 practice tests and feel I have more or less reached my limit with quant. Yes if I spent another 2 or 3 months I am sure maybe I can bring it up a point or two but you also have to be re...

Thanks for the tips... I did take the gmat prep a couple of times but the 630 was the lowest... I am not sure what happened and hoping I just had a bad day. I know verbal I underestimated so that is my main concentration now. Since the test, I have been studying and my scores, taken once a week have...

The whole basis of the conclusion is " if one wishes to avoid mold, then, one should make sure to keep all internal plumbing to prevent leakage....". This statement says, if you do not have water or any moisture in your house due to leaks or anything else, you will not grow mold. The assum...
