I have used Rahul's approach to solve this problem. The mistake I made was that I counted that there will be 72x31 of non-0 pairs and 9x24 0 pairs. In non-0 pairs --> chose P=12 and then counted Q as follows: # beginning 1 = 8 (9 total - P=12 selected), # beginning 2 = 9, # ending 1 = 7 (8 - 21 sele...

By the way, I was also a bit surprised that my Q47 and V37 only gave me 680. I have seen a lot of people reporting 690 or even 700 with these results. Perhaps this is another reason why I figured, the 700s is not that far away for me

Hi Rich Thanks for this. I want to apply in R1 this fall, so effectively in 1.5-2 months. In R1 I am applying to HBS, Wharton and London Business School. I figured that my score is way below average in the first two and below average in LBS and, given the new cancelled score rules, I will not lose a...

Retake advice
Hi All I would like some advice on how to best set up my study plan for re-taking GMAT. I scored a disappointing for me 680 (47Q, 37V) and already registered to re-take the exam in 3 weeks with the goal of scoring 700+. Since my Q result is only in 67%, initially I figured to focus on improving my Q...

Mitch Thanks for your reply. I now understand how the formula works and your explanation is very helpful. Trying to think about this problem for a different angle I drew down the overlaps to visualise them.I am able to get the correct answer of 25% when I try to minimise the overlap (minimum overlap...

Hi! Apologies if this sounds trivial but just trying to make sure I am getting this fully. I now understood why we got 25% and just trying to think about this problem in reverse. If we were asked to maximize the ABC, would the answer be simply 75%?
