Ratio problem- checking my logic
What is the ratio of c to d?
1. The ratio of 3c to 3d is 3 to 4
2. The ratio c+3 to d+3 is 4 to 5
So I definitely fell for the trap answer D
My question is if stmt 2 said c+3 to d+3 is 5 to 5 does the answer change?

Hey there, So let's be real: the GMATPrep 1 is the MOST accurate and you scored a 550 on it, so I think you'd be pretty unlikely to break a 600 at this point. If your plan is to take it in 10 days and you HAVE to get a 680, then I think it's pretty dangerous to take the test until you're scoring at...

Hi kdn508, Your latest CAT shows a considerable "bump up" in the Verbal Scaled Score. Since this is Test #2, is this the first time you took this CAT or did you take this CAT before? Have you done a review of this CAT as well? You mentioned that on the prior CAT you missed 4 Quant questio...
