I strongly believe that my GMAT score was my nemesis because I had a really strong story/brand to sell. So I have decided to try to improve my GMAT score before applying at INSEAD. I will work on my ...

My apologies, I made an error in the question. The actual question is:
If abc ≠0, what is the value of (a^3 + b^3 + c^3) / abc?
(1) |a|=1, |b|=2, |c|=3
(2) a + b + c = 0

I really don't know what happened. My target was to break the 700 mark and I felt that my preparation was solid. I first took the t...
