Thanks for the quick reply...

One follow up question:

How many schools should I apply to? Do you feel 7 is too many (6 target and 1 safety)? I guess I am most concerned with recommenders having to complete sets of questions for 7 schools.

Thanks again,

Eric

Yes - leading up to test day I was extremely anxious and unsure. I will say, however, on test day I was pretty confident and did not let my nerves get in the way.

Someone requested I post more details on strategy etc, so I'll follow up later this weekend with some mre info.


took the test yesterday and scored a 740 =) Following up on this.... My notebook consisted of 5 double sided pages with the front of the book used as an instruction sheet. You are not able to start writing before the test site hawk hits the begin button. This essentially leaves you only with the min...

"estimate to be" versus "estimate to"

Is the correct idiom merely "estimate to"? I previously thought the idiom was "estimate to be", but in one of my posts above, the OA answer uses the form "estimate to". The post is titled 2 More SC Questions..... Does the same hold true for "believe to be" ver...

Is the idiom not "estimate to be", similar to "believe to be"?

If number "a" has all of the same prime factors of number "b", plus additional prime factors, are you able to say defiitively that A is a multiple of B?

For an example:

A: 2,2,3,4 = 48
B: 2,2,3 = 12

Does this ALWAYS hold true?

Thanks!

I typically write out ABCDE during the break period, so you do not lose any time (on my practice exams at elast). I was told we would get 9 "sides" to write on (5 sheets of paper with one side taken up by instructions). So we definitely only get a maximum of 4 sheets with one side that has...

I see the correct answer to the third question is b/c the modifier correctly refers to the trade deficit. The first screenshot I feel is just an overall horrible sentence. I guess the correct answer is truly the least worst sentence. For the middle question, in the answer I chose, the "they&quo...
