After thinking about this question for a while, here goes my approach. Just to solve it faster, read the answers before mine to understand the math! First, translating GMAC language: - "Must have been between" - only one range will apply, and for that, I need a number that is at least a bi...

What kind of study plan would you additionally recommend? ph0enix089, from my experience as a test taker, I would recommend you to unde...

knight247, I've also bought the Manhattan's Guide 9, "Integrated Reasoning and Essay" and it comes with some online resources, like practice questions and CATs. I didn't even do all of them and was able to raise my IR score from 1 to 5-8. I got a 5 on the real GMAT. I didn't want to bother...

Great to know that you've put in fair amount of research and thought into the process already Niddy. Just a few more reactions. I think your international experience does sounds adequate from a volunteer front. You mentioned that you've lived in the US for 6 months - was that for the volunteer effo...

A few more perspectives that may be worth considering Niddy: Though you've not mentioned explicitly, but I am assuming you are working in Brazil and do not have international experience? The reason that is relevant is because many European schools (especially LBS), value that. If you have the oppor...

Hey Niddy, I love that you're asking this question early in the process - it's the perfect time. To be honest, if you have time, retake the test. If you can pull that score up even 20, 30 points, it'll totally be worth it. And you have a few months before you need to start on your applications so t...

Scott, I'm taking the EmpowerGMAT course. It made all the difference as I didn't have any experience with standardized tests and had no structured study plan. But even if you are not willing to invest on a course, you could try different approachs to the questions. Taking a course is easier because ...

Two musicians, Maria and Perry, work at independent constant rates to tune a warehouse full of instruments. If both musicians start at the same time and work at their normal rates, they will complete the job in 45 minutes. However, if Perry were to work at twice Maria’s rate, they would take only...

Hi niddy, MGMAT sells a version of the laminated pad in its online store (I don't know what the shipping cost would be, but you can look into it and see). If it's not a cost-effective option, then here's an alternative: take a large yellow legal pad, tear off 6 sheets and staple the sheets across t...

Hi niddy, Taking CATs at regular intervals is important (even if you have not mastered all of the material) because it's the only way to measure how well you handle everything within the context of the full Test. For example, you might be comfortable with all the various algebra subjects, but do yo...
