I cannot emphasize the above enough as well. I was scoring in the low-mid 700's on practice tests. Took the gmat and got barely over a 600. I waited a year, reviewed some material. I was way more prepared the previous time.. took it again and got a 710.. that time I was so relaxed and didn't care ab...

Don't stress about it. I get very nervous during tests and scored a 28 on verbal the 3rd time I took it. The 4th time I took it I was just as prepared as the 3rd... Got a 41... Difference is the 41 I was really relaxed. I also was studying for the lsat before the 41- I think that made a huge differe...

Wasn't your last gmat prep tests a repeat? Regardless, most of your scores are in the 600s... Why would you assume you would get that 700 mark. I would practice more until you are consistently scoring in the low 700s. A 680 seems right on mark for where you should have scored based on your practice ...

Both D and E sound extremely awkward.. not sure why they are wrong. A seems to be good. Is A the correct answer?

My first Diagnostic test was a manhattan gmat cat. I got a 530. 3 months of practice later I was scoring 700-740s on manhattan cats. I got nervous, choked and didn't do well on the actual one so I am retaking. Point is- with enough practice 700's is doable.

Ya- most people dont put stats into that group of questions. Stats you have to know well- especially because it involves averages and many other components, it really can include all types of math. Comb and probabiliy, however, are very few and I had two combination questions on my total of 3 tests ...

You have to try a few different ways and do what works for you. The 2nd time I took the test I listened to other people by moving on after two minutes, kept being so focused on timing that I just coudn't focus on the questions- your always worrying about the time - I got a 38 in quant that time. I r...

MUST READ for all people who have TEST ANXIETY
TO ALL PEOPLE WHO HAVE TEST ANXIETY, HAVE ALWAYS SCORED BAD ON STANDARDIZED TESTS AND HAVE GIVEN UP! I posted a much longer post about my experiences in the beat the gmat section. I'm going to write an abridged version. In short, after studying with a tutor for a few months and scoring in the 700-74...

I used the OG's and mgmat. I didn't really study RC and CR. When I went through them originally I was doing very well, unless I didn't understand the passage, which did happen sometimes- nothing you can do about that. The thing is, before my 2nd attempt, I was consistent. I was studying gmat non sto...

My scores have been literally all over the place.
I have taken the gmat 3 times and have had an insane experience. 1st Attempt. The first time I took the gmat I was not prepared for it. I had signed up for it a few months beforehand and I took it to get the first time jitters out of the way. I was pretty relaxed, I think, since I knew it was just a...

1. I would say the first one. We are still happy- full clause, although we have no money cannot be by itself so it has to be attached by a comma.
2. I don't think either of those are correct. I thin it should be " mary has a car, motorbike and bicycle.

I don't even think there is anything wrong grammatically with E. The only thing that maybe I would be cautious about is by the , and IT... if your starting the new sentence it should say , and the publisher will sell them online.... But A is clearly more concise and well worded.
