I was feeling anxious and I was irritable so I know that I wasn't in the best frame of mind, and I ended up getting a 510. My last mba.com one I...

Thanks for your feedback Dave, When I don't study, I get anxiety because I feel as though am literally wasting valuable time and I think " why are you not studying when clearly you have work to do to improve." I know a breather is good, but I do study pretty much everyday ( 2-5 hours depen...

Looking for some additional feedback from the experts on here:) Since my last score of a 580, I focused on studying my quant concepts again as that was my area of weakness. I compartmentalized and redid all of the books ( Manhattan) and the sections in which I still showed some weaknesses. I did all...

Can you show me the answer choices with all of the numbers using n=1? I understand anything to the power of 0 = 1, but I don't understand a and c answer choices clearly and I thought I did. I just want to ensure this is 100% clear.
Thanks,
Bethany

Hey Rich, The issue is when I try read the question. I get confused at what they are asking, for example; If 3<x<100, for how many values of x is x/3 the square of a prime? I don’t know how to understand this, and quickly. I keep getting stuck on the wording and I am confused at what is being aske...

I fully understand how to factor, primes etc, and I understand the Manhattan GMAT chapter on it and did well on the practice questions, but when I get to the OG I can't wrap my head around the...

Thank-you!
I get it now when using the number 1, but I am confused on the "0" being used to plug in for "n" on a, d, e. I thought anything to the power "0" is automatically 1? Even if it's a negative.

positives and negatives
Each of the following equations has at least one solution EXCEPT
–2n = (–2)-n
2-n = (–2)n
2n = (–2)-n
(–2)n = –2n
(–2)-n = –2-n
I'm not clear on the answer given in the MGMAT book. Another way to explain would be very helpful.
Thanks!
