mbanobigdeal certainly looks like someone rooting for MLIC materials and in summary, treat his post above with caution and do your own research. Official questions are the best source of tuition out there so I would recommend the OG 11. I have also used Kaplan materials and MGMAT CATS and I would re...

to reiterate what others say.... relax! Don't study too hard. Try to sleep extra early as it may take you a few hours to settle. Many find it hard to sleep the night before.

Rate question but it's not "distance" covered....

Tom reads at an average rate of 30 pages per hour, while Jan reads at an average rate of 40 pages per hour. If Tom starts reading a novel at 4:30, and Jan begins reading an identical copy of the same book at 5:20, at what time will they be reading the same page?

9:30

I know that one should take rankings at face value but can someone elaborate more on how businessweek calculate rankings? For instance, I know the FT ones put a lot of weight on salary increase which depresses some schools such as Yale, which have a lot of grads going into the public sector. Can any...

When you multiply two slopes together, do you basically get a slope which is in between the two? Additionally, how do you know if the slope is negative or positive? If you multiply two sets of slo...
