monir, I think SCs come down to 2 things: 1) Making sure that you have the rules memorized 2) Spotting when to use them (and noticing the variations) I learned to treat SCs like a big game. If I saw one "part" of a phrase, I'd look for the other. So, if the answers used the words IS/ARE, I...

Hi everyone, Busytrying - with a Q13, I think that you probably need to review some math basics. The Empowergmat course listed a bunch of free links at Khan Academy that can probably help you there. It sounds like the more time you have, the better. My study plan worked for me because I devoted the ...

Emilio,

I finished up with the Empowergmat course and did really well. I posted about it here:

Let me know what you'd like to know and I'll do my best to answer your questions.

Everyone, Thanks for all the kind words; it's a bit overwhelming. I'll try my best to answer all of your questions. Red217 - I used the entire Empowergmat course.

Hi, Rather than overthink the 5 schools that you'll list on test day, it might be better for you to figure out which schools best match your career goals and list those. Any additional score reports will cost $28 each (which really isn't a big deal). If you're applying to more than 5 schools, then y...

Hi,

Unfortunately, I don't think that the GMATPrep software provides any of that info (I've dug around it too and have never found anything either). If someone knows differently, I'd love to know too, but I don't think that the software tracks that info.

Hey Raj, I've been studying for the last month and a half with empowergmat. It was slow at first since I had to adjust to gmat tactics and material but I've improved a ton since I started. I hit 680 on my last cat, up from 490 on my first one and I still haven't covered all of the material yet. Know...
