I spent a lot of time and effort on this test. I just took the test today and got a 460. Every question seemed like a mystery to me. The test didn't seem to let up at all. The questions seemed harder than the practice problems I did. I have Knewton but honestly it was a waste of time for me. I thin...

I can totally relate to that. I took knewton as well and it is a waste of time in my opinion too. Didnt get too far with it. I hope to do some self study with a different strategy and see if I can improve my score going forward. Good luck to you! The GMAT doesn't lend itself well to people that hav...

How the hell did I get a B in calculus but can't handle 10th grade GMAT math? :( Interestingly I just had a discussion on this. In high school/college, most exams test you on one skill, memorization. If you memorize the formula, memorize the few ways shown in the book, and you're almost guarantee t...

Extreme Values - Inequalities
3. If 2h+k<8, g+3h=15, k=4, what is the possible range of values for g? [spoiler] Plugging in 4.... 2h+4 <8 2h<4 h<2 LT= Less than GT = Greater than g+3h=15 g+3(LT2)=15 g+LT6=15 g=15-LT6 <-----why did this change to GT?...I can't visualize what is going on g=GT(9) g>9 [/spoiler] Thanks.

Combining Inequalities
2.
Is a+2b<c+2d?
1) a<c
2) d>b
[spoiler]
Adding statement 1 and 2
a < c
b < d
a+b< c+d
(we can add another b<d.....why?)
a+2b <c+2d[/spoiler]

Thanks for the response. So your telling me that the first 5 to 10 question approach is bogus? When I say concentrate on the first 5-10, I'm not suggesting that I will totally guess on the remainder on the test. I just won't worry as much using process of elimination in order to complete the test. ...

Need 550 minimum - 1 1/2 weeks left
Have been studying off/on.... For the real exam... Should I concentrate on just getting the first 5 questions right (spend extra time) then not worry about the remainder of the section (as long as I finish?) I have the following books: Manhattan SC (read and completed exercises) Manhattan Number Pro...

Perhaps you are not approaching the materials the right way. I am studying materials from MGMAT and hack the GMAT for math, and if you follow the book and do the questions at the end of each chapter, there is no reason why things won't make sense to you. If you do not understand the explanation, yo...

GMAT Strategy Suggestions - Knewton.
Hello everyone, I'm currently using Knewton. All in all it's good. I attended the live classes once but mostly I just watch them archived. It allows me to take a break and re-watch concepts I don't understand. I am on lesson 5 out of 12. It has been pretty slow going. I was looking at the Manhattan ...

What happened?
I am not sure what happened. I have been out of school only a couple of years. I have taken math courses through calculus and discrete mathematics for computer science. I earned a B or better in all math classes. I guess I will try the practice test one more time (after my light preparation). If I g...

Need at least 450
I need a minimum of a 450 to get into a state university. I thought it should be attainable with no preparation. I guess I was wrong. I took the Princeton Review test from the Online Express course. I got a 310! I don’t even remember seeing a score that low on this forum. I have to admit that I did ...
