I felt understanding each problem is more important that doing many problems. That helped me tremendously. For some reason I keep scoring ...

"Critique" MUST modify the book since it is directly after the comma. You must modify the noun rather than the critiquing style. Also Parallelism must be considered.
Therefore, A is the correct answer
Hope that makes sense

Re: GMATprep2: Is x+y<1?
nhai2003 wrote:Is x+y<1?
1) x<8/9
2)y<1/9
OA later.
Thanks guys
it cannot be a or b because you need the x and y to solve the problem
Combining both statements: get same denominator
(64/72) + (9/72)< 1
73/72< 1
So x+y can be greater than 1 or less than 1.....ANSWER IS E.

"Look at those cars. Theirs is really ugly."
"Look at those cars. Theirs is really ugly."
I believe this sentence discusses several cars in the first sentence, but in the second it is possessive to a group. Categorizing in a group makes it singular. That is the best analysis I can give. I believe the sentence is correct

You have a great Quant score. Focus more on the verbal next time around. If everyone gave up this forum would not exist. I would suggest you just spend more time on the Verbal portion. You might have been been exhausted by the latter part of the test. Take a break, 1 or 2 weeks, and get the ball rol...

This is the first step
Hi,
I would definitely prepare to take the test again. I studied for 2 months, took the gmat and got a 490. I just retook it and got a 590 (43Q 29V). Do not give up..have the focus and the drive and I am sure you will break the 650 mark. Good luck on your studying.
