Okay everyone, update. I just took my real GMAT on Saturday. I scored a 580. I was scoring 600's on my practice tests, so I got really close to that. I was only, honestly, trying to achieve a 550 because the schools I want to go to require just above-average GMAT scores. I was thrilled to see that n...

Math PS Question - Help
I am doing something wrong here. Can someone help and explain? If the sale price of a television is $216 after a 10% reduction was made, what was the regular price of the television? I was setting up the formula as follows: 216=x + .10X 216=1.10x Dividing by 1.10 is giving me the incorrect value. Wh...

Hey there - just figured I'd post an update. I have been studying like crazy. I am enrolled into the Knewton course and I also signed up for GMATPREPNOW, which has been a god send. GPN really breaks everything down and doesn't take anything for granted - the courses all act as though you have no ide...

Please Rate - Analysis of an Argument - Olympic Foods
Could you please read my eassy and provide me with feedback and a score? This is my very first one. I followed the template from this forum and didn't do this entirely from memory yet. It's more of an 'applying concepts' run before I jump out of the nest and fly. Can you let me know if I am on the r...

Wait, sorry for reviving this. Rahul@gurome explains how to do this with just variable B - this makes sense now. I'm having trouble with this word equations. Anyone have any drills for this stuff besides the OG?

Percents Problem
I get stuck about halfway through this. I would like to see how this is worked out with equations. The explanation uses a matrix. Can someone guide me through this using equations and fractions? At a technology consulting firm with x computers, all of which are desktops or laptops, 30% are laptops; ...

Thank you, this is helpful. I am going to rework this problem to make sure I completely understand the concept, but it's just the addition of variables making 15% become 1.15.

OG Question 123
I was wondering if someone could help me with Question 123 in the OG - can you show me how you solved it? The explaination in the book shows: If $207 includes a 15% gratuity, then, if x is the pre - tip price of the meal, 207 = 1.15x. Expressed differently: x = (207/(1.15)). To find the average pric...

Mags! Congrats! My goals are similar to yours. I bombed my pre-test and have felt really discouraged. I have been studying nonstop and hope when it's time to take another CAT practice I will increase. We will see what happens. This gives me hope.
