Viewing AWA from GMATPREP

Does anyone know if there's a way to go back and look at the AWA you wrote on GMATPREP software?

I'm looking at UVA, Vanderbilt, Emory, Indiana, and Georgetown. That list will become a little more solid once I take the GMAT 6/16. I may apply to one of the super elites if my GMAT is incredibly good, but we'll see. I don't think I would be all that comfortable at any of those schools. Like I said...

that can't possibly be how the question is written.

until you can input it correctly, just know that x^2/lxl will always equal lxl, so it has to follow that -1<x<1.

This is a tough one. My guess would be that since this an equation with three variables, you need three different equations to solve it. x= no. of attendees y= amount paid z= total the three equations are xy=z (original) (x-.75)(y+100) = z (Statement 1) (x+1.50)(y-100)=z (Statement 2) You can use or...

That score is above the average for every business school in the US. Do you think a 750...760....770 is going to get you in whereas a 730 won't? I look at it like this -- even if I get an 800, it's not going to make up for the rest of my application being weak. 730 is in the range where you will be ...

*Is this true? That you are compared against those who take it the same day? What if you take the test at 8:00 AM vs. 4:00 pm? A smaller sample size could be skewed either way. Say a fewer number of people took it, but all were high achievers. That would hurt you. Of course the converse is true, but...
