Manhattan GMAT Fourth Edition Books
I studied for the GMAT several years ago and now I am going to retake it so I am studying again. I have the complete set of fourth edition Manhattan GMAT guides. I no longer see the exact same books: Word Translations and Equations, Inequalities, & VIC's in the fifth edition series. How do these...

1) it's a very serious place and doesn't mess around. where else does fun come to die? 2) it's 20 minutes from downtown, evanston is an hour - an hour and a half. uchicago is way more fun Isn't that a bit of a contradiction? It is the place where fun comes to die yet it is way more fun? University ...

I think to believe that the college senior applicant pool might be smaller so would therefore be less competitive is overly optimistic. Without knowing the number of college seniors applying compared to those accepted we cannot draw any inferences about the application pool. There are college senior...

I would recommend taking a diagnostic, studying the problems you missed and reviewing material on the stupid mistakes you did and then take another diagnostic as soon as possible and then come up with a study plan. It may seem excessive but I have studied over 100 hours just on critical reasoning, r...

On a GMAT Prep practice test I scored 39Q and 39V 640 and I did not miss a single CR or RC problem, but I did miss 14 SC problems so you might have missed more RC and CR quesitons than you thought. I know when I was about midway through my practicing RC and CR I was missing quite a few that I felt c...

I was scoring about 50% on logical reasoning for the GMAT and LSAT and I bought the PowerScore Logic Reasoning Bible. I went through the whole book and practiced every problem and now I am almost always above 90% on logical reasoning. I haven't take any GMAT practice tests recently but I am sure I w...

I was getting about 60% on critical reasoning and I purchased the PowerScore Logic Reasoning Bible (for the LSAT, because I am studying for that too and it is similar to the critical reasoning). I went through the whole book and now I am scoring over 85% every time I do a logical reasoning or critic...

Ultimately you should go with what best fits your career goals. If you want a career that is not high in pay you should do your best to avoid debt from college. A $700+ monthly 15 year student loan payment can be a major burden even if you are making good money post graduation. From my own experienc...

Once you are in the 700+ range I don't think studying general materials helps much. At that point I think it comes down to identifying what types of problems you are missing and working to figure them out. My recommendation would be to figure out what types of questions you have been missing and wor...

I just wanted to add my 2 cents. If your (previous) supervisor thinks you belong at their alma mater I would think they should have no problem writing a recommendation for you themself. I recommend scheduling a meeting with the person you want to recommend you for 30min-1hr so you can explain why yo...

I have one manager that trained me who was my supervisor who I think could give a good analysis of my ability. I will have to try and spend the rest of this year working with someone else in the company who could give a good recommendation. The problem is 5 out of 6 of the highest positions in the c...
