What I think: The value for 2N contains twice as many ways you can divide that number than just N. Let say N = 3 (divisible by 1 and 3) 2N=6 (divisible by 1, 3 and 2) In this case 2N can only be divided 1 time more than just N. So in statement two N = more than 3 You should find the number that fits...

Thank you for the motivation and tips Tisrar02! I have contacted a private tutor and will meet with him next week. I am looking for the possibilities to reschedule my exam to the end of April. The combination of these two should make it possible to get those basics in my head and raise my level/scor...

Thank you for this advice. I have been studying a lot and doing the practice tests but not with much result. I will follow your advice and see how it goes. I cant reschedule, I have to do this exam and then apply, or the deadline is past. If I dont get it this time I am doing the GRE and hope to get...

390 and stuck, retake in two weeks with no progress, help!

Hello all, I read lots of stories about getting 600 or beating the GMAT with a 700+. I need 450 to get into the school I want. My first attempt (a month ago) was 390. I had courses with strategies, learned from the books and did a lot of practice exams. All these exams where between the 330 and 440 ...

I see, So I have to look closely to the " x" if this is -x, then the sum is positive and if its +x, the sum is negative.
I am sure the GMAT will have tricky questions that will confuse me or maybe with fractures.

Thank you for helping me with this problem!

It is a bit confusing but let me evaluate this. If I am correct I can understand why I should choose the (x+4)(x-3) If you have the sum=1 and the product=-12 then 4*-3= -12 and 4-3=1 Is this correct? My question then, how do you figure out that the sum is 1? If my thought with the sum is not correct...

Can you explain me why if you have x^2-x-12=0. the step to solve it is (x-4)(x+3)=0? It makes scense to do this, but the gmat seems to just randomize this with (x+4)(x-3)=0 You get two different answers in the end. So how do I know which version of 12 i have to take? the (x-4)(x+3) or the (x+4)(x-3)...
