Experts- I get the ", ing" or "ed" modifier being incorrect. What threw me off in this question is that C & D seemed like a run on. The first part of the sentence is a complete sentence, "Sound can travel through water for enormous distance. In the second part , " I...

Good Evening- I am looking for expert help as I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I tried two ways, Algebra & Smart #, and still can't solve the problem. The main difference I see between the setup between the answers in the forum and mine is that I labeled the T (see chart) as D+2 for X and D ...

Thanks Rich for the time and comments. I have a CAT scheduled the second week in January so that should give a better idea if this is working.
Have a great holiday!

Rich- Thanks so much for the reply. Let me try and answer your questions below. 1. I have used only bits and pieces of the MGMAT books but to be honest it was just reading them and really didn't apply them to OG problems. 2. I score a 530 on my first CAT with a 34 V and 29 Q. 3. I am next planning o...

REQUESTED: GMAT Prep Strategy
Good Evening All- I just took the GMAT and scored a 590 with a Q in the 44% and the V in the 66% ( 40% SC). I have been very inconsistent across the board, in my CAT's leading up to the GMAT, and feel like that I need to review the strategies and basics all together before wasting more CATS and OG p...

Rich-
Thanks for reply.
I have been studying about 30 days due to a hospitalization which made me completely restart. I have been using the mgmat guides and have made it through about half. Have half more to go. I am flexible a bit as I am targeting r2 dates.
Have a great weekend!

Thanks all the advice. I just took another CAT with some of these strategies in mind and saw improvement but need much more practice for consistancy. Brent- Most of my mistakes are reading too quickly or beginning to jot and work before I finish understanding the question. This leads me to miss key ...

Math Strategy Process
Morning All- I just took my 3rd CAT and have made great strides in my verbal score. My math score has remained the same but not due to a lack of knowledge. When I take a test untimed I do awesome and am in the 75% but when I take it timed I score in the 45%. The issue is really around 1 thing. My pr...

Hey all. Thanks for responding. My first CAT was a 520. Rich, I started studying 3 months ago but have been in the hospital twice which almost really killed a month for me and in all honestly I was able to fully recover just recently. I am targeting a GMAT date of October which leaves me 3 months of...

Study Strategy Feedback Appreciated
I have identified sentence and quant as my two largest weaknesses. I just scored a 570 for my CAT. Does it make sense to do the following. 1. Complete two sentence correction chapters a week out of MGMAT. 2. Complete a Quant chapter at a time during the same time period. I would be complete by early...
