So, I didn't get into anything. I applied to five schools: Harvard, Columbia, Penn, Notre Dame and Vanderbilt. Obviously, in hindsight I should have applied to some easier schools, but I thought I was a shoe-in for Vanderbilt and Notre Dame; I actually live in Tennessee and Notre Dame called my hous...

How much do unanswered questions count against you?

I took the test today and scored a 720 which is good I guess. I had a 99 percentile on English and 66 on math. But on the math I didn't answer the very last question.

Kaplan is Crap

I just wanted to let anyone know that if you're looking for exam prep materials, I would NOT recommend Kaplan. They supposedly provide four practice CAT tests. However, by test number two I was seeing repeats. When I tried to take test four I received a message that said, "The question bank has...

Can non-integers be odd/even?

If it asks me if sqrt(2) is even, what's the answer? Yes? No? Undetermined? For example, one question asked me: Is X odd? 1.) 2x-1 is odd 2.) x^3 is odd. I assumed statement two was enough, because I didn't consider radicals. I suppose the cube root of three is NOT odd. But the cube of the cube root...

Well, a sentence correction question on the verbal frustrated me when the obvious error was that it misspelled "military" -- except it misspelled "military" in every single answer choice as well. I guess I was supposed to correct the other error.

Kaplan scores vary wildly.

So far I've taken four practice tests. I took the GMATPrep thing first and scored a 630. I took the written test in the Kaplan GMAT Premiere Program 2009 Edition and got a 650 after reading the entire thing and working all the practice problems. Then in my first three Kaplan CAT's I've gotten a 590,...
