AWA 5.0 I'm not applying for MBA anyway. Just Graduate School, in Europe. So I guess I should be more than happy. Just one question I know that GMAT is valid for 5 years, but I've seen some BS asking for a score from the last 2 years. Would it be possible for me to use the same score in let's say 3 ...

750 (Q-48;V-45) - Could have done better
I took the test today. The experience was different than anything I have encountered so far. Q - 48 (84%) V - 45 (98%) Total Score - 750 (98%) I'm really upset about the Q score, as I was really confident on math when I started all this mess, so 48 is somewhat lower than I expected. i'm not saying I...

Took another 3 CATs: GMATPrep Test#1 - 3rd attempt: TS: 760 (Q - 50; V - 42) GMATPrep Test #2 - 2nd attempt: TS: 720 (Q - 49; V - 40) KAPTest Online: TS: 720 (Q - 46; V - 43) The test from Kaplan was different. The math part was easier than on GMATPrep, I had 22 minutes left on the clock at the time...

Just took GMATPrep Practice Test #2. The results were: Total score: 740 (Q - 50; V - 39). Got 6 incorrect on Math and 7 on verbal. I am just so pissed that I keep getting so many wrong answers at Quantitative. Out of 6 wrong answers, 4 were due to lack of concentration. I should work on my concentra...

Damn. All these questions seem so simple when you know the OA. Here goes the explanation. Lets say x was the no of low-paid and y was the no of high paid. Lets say xi was the increase in the number of low-paid and yi was the the increase in the number of high-paid. Lets say the total employees in 19...

Don't exagerate with the parallelism thing. It's not the case here. The expresions "found in ..." and "has..." are not parallel.priyankamishra11 wrote:I think its answer should be 'C" because 'resembling' is parallel to 'shimmering'.
The answer is C, but not because of parallelism.

I go with B, as it clearly says that "high-paying service occupations will increase its share in the total employment", so definitely there are more employees in the high paying services than in the low paying services.
What is the OA?

Without any great math knwoledge, you should know at least that
4^(1/2)=2
x^(1/y)=1 for any x and y, and if x>1, then x^(1/y)>1
so 2+1+...+1+...>4

the area of the triangle is
a^2*sqrt(3)/4=9*sqrt(3) => a =6, where a is the side of the triangle.
the radius of the circle is 2/3*a*sqrt(3)/2=a*sqrt(3)/3
square of the circle = a^2*(pi)/3=36*(pi)/3=12*pi

let's say x is the side of the square.
The radius of the inner circle is x/2
The radius of the outer circle is x*sqrt(2)/2.
The difference of the radius is x*sqrt(2)/2-x/2=a
x/2*(sqrt(2)-1)=a
x=2a/(sqrt(2)-1)

I was refering to the value of the ratios.pepeprepa wrote:With the angles and the position of each side you can make ratios but you do not know the ratios values of course.
We will see after OA.

Thanks to angles equations we can find that the two small triangles are similar and then we can make ratios between the different sides of these triangles. Then, we have 5 equations and 5 unknowns. Only one value is necessary to answer the question. I would say D You can make ratios, but you do not...

I didn't get the 3 seconds either.
Yes, when t=3 h=150, but what if t=1, then h= -16*(-2)*2+150=216
or, if t=2, h=182.
I would agree to "h is max when t=3" if it were |t-3| instead of (t-3), or (t-3)^2 instead of (t-3)2.
Could someone please explain.
Thanks.
