It has to be more than that. For example, just with 2 accessories with 3 options each, there are 6 possible buildups. With 3 accessories with 3 options each, there are 27 possible buildups. I just don't know how to do the math to figure out when there are 15 accessories that all have to be accounte...

Combination & Permutation
Can someone please explain how to calculate this answer for me? Suppose you have 15 accessories in a standard computer buildup and each accessory has 3 options (ex. Hard drive space could be 100GB, 200GB, or 300GB, RAM could be 1MB, 2MB or 3MB, monitor could be 15", 17" or none, etc.) How ...

There were some gaps in my studies, mostly due to work. I would go entire weeks without picking up a book. I don't recommend this, if you can help it, because I usually backslid a bit before getting back into things.
Just received my AWA score: 6.0

Super idea chipjet! Last questions - 1. Did you feel the math was harder than GMATPrep? 2. Did you see the Math focus to be on number properties rather than topics like absolute values and combinatorics? I take it on Saturday, hoping to get as close to 700 as possible. Niraj - 1.) I definitely felt...

Thanks everyone! My Verbal strategy definitely does take longer at first, but once you get the hang of it you will be able to fly through the questions because you'll know immediately what they're looking for. I finished my verbal section plenty of extra time on the last questions. And yes, you will...

Cracked the GMAT - 700! Updated: Full Debrief
Well, I wish I could say that I stomped it, but I cracked it I guess. My goal was to score a 700 or better, so I guess I'm done, but I strongly feel that I could have performed better. The Quant section felt much harder than usual overall. I will give a nice, long debrief later. Final score breakdow...

Dude, congratulations and great debrief! I'm taking it tomorrow, but haven't been studying as hard prior to the test as you were (work and all gets in the way after college). Congrats again!

Netigen - I took your advice today and did the GMAT Prep 2 and scored a 760 (Q-49, V-44)!
I'm just going to review some concepts tomorrow and relax.

2 more days until G-Day!
So, I have two more days of studying before my Monday morning 8am exam. I'm really hoping to score 720+, but will be satisfied with anything over 700. I feel like I still have so much more I could improve upon, but this thing has consumed enough of my life for the past few months that I just need to...

I'm taking the test Monday, and I'm hoping for a 700+ as well. The way I've been approaching it mentally is that I have all summer to score over a 700. If I miss it the first time, I'll have the whole summer to make up for it. I score a 630 on my first MGMAT test 2 weekends ago, and was feeling like...

Let me just say that if I get a 750 on Monday, then you will see a thread saying I beat the GMAT. Great score!

Keep it in perspective, too. I know a guy that studied for 3 months and never broke 500. He wasn't an idiot either, just bad at testing.
640 is in the range of quite a few good schools.
