I scored a nifty 770 (Q50, V44) on the GMAT 2 days ago, 10 points higher than what I scored on any mock test. It’s been a long journey, starting from 590 on the first GMAT Prep and I have learned a few things along the way that I would like to pass along. To be honest, at one point, I was happy w...

Help in Deciphering my ESR

Hi,
It would be great if anybody could have a look at my Enhanced Score Report and suggest a way forward for next 3 months starting Jan 2017.

I think it would be for the benefit of all BTG members to know how to maximise information from one's ESR.

Hi , This time I made sure that the CATs were as realistic as possible including breaks. I generally don't remember questions because I don't attempt to memorise them but try working it out so I don't remember if the questions were repeated. In July when I had posted I had my Test on Aug 31 but due ...

Answer should be C. First thought was answer is E. But really tricky one.. x>y will not tell us anything.. So 1 is insufficient. x2=y2 means (x+y)(x-y)=0 Therefore x+y=0 or x-y = 0 Suppose x-y = 0 which means x=y. we can get equal values for x and y such that xy=70. we get x=y=root(70) [YES] No, su...

Number Properties- help on this DS question

Is xy≤1/2? (1) x2+y2=1 (2) x2-y2=0 here also I chose E but the answer is A Explanation given is (1) x2+y2=1. Recall that (x-y)2≥0(x-y)2≥0 (square of any number is more than or equal to zero). Expand: x2-2xy+y2≥0 and since x2+y2=1 then: 1-2xy≥0. So, xy≤1/2. Sufficient. (2) x2-y2=0. Re-arr...

Number Properties- Hi I need help on these two DS questions

If a, b and c are integers, is abc an even integer? (1) b is halfway between a and c (2) a=b−c I chose E. But the answer is B. The explanation given is a=b−c . Re-arrange: a+c=b. Since it's not possible the sum of two odd integers to be odd, then the case of 3 odd numbers is ruled out, hence at ...

Hi riteshpatnaik, Most people would not be able to complete that full Study Plan in a month, but I don't know you well enough to say whether YOU could or not. Even if you couldn't compete the full plan though, by learning and practicing the major Tactics you could improve a great deal. GMAT assassi...

Hi riteshpatnaik, Raising your score 120+ points in a month will be challenging, regardless of what materials you use and the number of hours that you study. The 'keys' to all of this are the flexibility in your thinking and your ability to adjust how you 'see' (and respond to) the GMAT. For the ne...
