The flashcards are great practice. A few math shorcuts that I was not aware of after 8 weeks of study. Thank you for the resource.

I know what you mean about the mgmat. I took 3 of the practice tests and a gmat prep test (supposedly the best indicator of actual score). Scored 650 on gmat prep, and 630 on the 1st mgmat.... then the other day I scored a 570 on the 2nd mgmat test. The quant is extremely wordy, unlike most OG quest...

MGMAT test question simplify equation

There is a question on the mgmat practice test that requires the following equation to be simplified

5^12 - 6(5^13 - 5^12)

They simplify this to be 5^12 – 6[5^12(5 – 1)]

how did they get to the red portion?
5^13-5^12 = 5^12(5-1) ???

Any explanation would be great!

I know this subject has been covered multiple times, but I cant find any information on the paper test in the back of the book.

Lisa,

Do any of the top 20 schools consider your Major GPA, or GPA from the last 2 years of school? Or do they strictly view the overall?

Thank you very much for your feedback. It is much appreciated!
