Help with Sequence Problems

I'm not sure if Sequence Problems is the correct terminology, but I was wondering if anyone can tell me where I can find some additional help/practice on these types of math problems. For lack of a better example, I'm referring to the type of problem where you are given a few values and then asked t...

Question about 2 Kaplan CAT grades

I've taken two Kaplan CATs, and received a 690 on both, but the correlation between the raw scores and the percentiles for verbal seem to be very different. Can you please explain how the percentiles are pretty close for the two verbal scores that have very different raw scores? The scores are as fo...

Thanks Lisa. I appreciate your advice. I do feel that the rest of my application is pretty impressive. I had a 3.5 gpa at a good school for my undergrad and I have had many leadership positions throughout my life (head captain of my varsity athletic team in college). I think I may apply to one schoo...

Is third round too late?

I just took the GMAT today for the 3rd time and I am very dissapointed because I scored a 550 and my goal was at least a 620. However, I know I can score well because my last three Kaplan CAT exams were a 610, 610 and 620 respectively. My two prior GMAT scores are as follows: Quant: 31 (30%) Verbal:...
