Wondering if the Knewton course would be doable (I have a full time job) over the next month and whether that's the m...

Help an Old Guy Get to 720 from 680?

I just took my GMAT and scored a 680 (Q42, V41). I am not displeased with my score as I am a 31 year old non traditional who has done self-study. I am a Native Speaker and the verbal was lower than most of my practice exams (think I messed up the timing toward the end). But I also know I'm capable o...

Factoring Question

Can someone explain how you simplify #1 to #2? Can't seem to see how they arrived at the simplification in #2.

1) x(x-1)^2 + 5(x-1)^2 = 0

How Focused Do You Need to Be?

I have a non-traditional background (non-profit and a start-up). I have lacked mentorship opportunities in the small shops I've worked and much of my on-the-job training has been "learn as you go/trial and error". An MBA would be invaluable for giving me the skills and networking opportuni...
