Re: GMAT is a scam
They make it ridiculously hard so they can make money off us! I took it 3 times, $750! And $1400 on tutoring! URGH. And still cant break a 500. Its honestly stupid that schools put so much weight on one test when there are so many other things to take in to consideration. Like my nice 3.4 undergrad...

Re: Question 129 of OG p. 227

When a person/object travels the same distance at two different speeds say a and b then the average speed is
2ab/(a+b)
here bob travels the same distance ... first half at x mph and second half at y mph then avg speed = 2xy(x+y)
time = t
distance = speed* time = 2xyt/(x+y)

Ron, I do believe that MGMAT has its algorithm pretty close to the real one. But I have a query regarding the questions in quant section. When the real GMAT does not focus on calculation intensive steps, why does MGMAT feature such problems (I found MGMAT heavy on lengthy steps) ? Aren't we learning...
