Typical shifts from adjusted score to acual score?
Hey Guys! Just took the GMAT today. I am sure this question has been asked, but I haven't been able to find it via search. The unofficial printout you receive when you finish the test is obviously not the final official score. My question is what is the range of points and percentiles that my scores...

Sequence Problems
I have noticed that questions involving a large sequence or string of numbers have caused me more trouble than any other type. The h(100) question, for example. I saw how people broke it down to get the answer. I don't know that I would have ever been able to figure out that method, and certainly no...

For which of the following functions f is f(x) = f(x-1) for all x? f(x) = 1-x f(x) = 1-x^2 f(x) = x^2-(1-x)^2 f(x) = x^2(1-x)^2 f(x) = x/1-x I can not understand what the question is asking. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Let x=2. Then f(x) = f(2) and f(1-x) = f(1-2) = f(-1). The questi...

Thank you for your help! In studying the principles and subjects for the GMAT, where would I come across the subject tested in this problem? Perfect cubes are certainly not new to me, but admittedly, I didn't know that every perfect cube had to have 3 of every prime factor. Also, is there a search f...

I see how you used your method. Looks fine to me. Just to add a different perspective, here is what I did. I assumed no restrictions and distributed the 5 dolls among the 5 kids (5 ways for the first, 4 ways for the second, 3 ways for the third,......1 way for the 5th) This gives you 5!, which is 12...

A question that I'm sure is easy that I screwed up.
Hey guys. Got myself stumped on this one. If both n & y are positive integers, and 450y = n^3, then which of the following MUST be an integer? The correct answer for this question ended up being: y/(3 X 2^2 X 5) (three x two squared x five) How do you get to this solution? There has to be a rule...

New Member here. This place looks amazing!
Here's my problem
If (1/5)^m X (1/4)^18 = 1/2(10)^35, what is m?
I apologize I don't have all the answer choices. All I know is that the answer is m = 35
How do you get this answer?
