I scored higher in the MGMAT verbal than in the real GMAT verbal. I realized that the verbal on the real GMAT was tougher than verbal on any practice test. I know my mistake in verbal in the real GMAT; I ran out of time and I guessed the all questions in the last RC. I will take the GMAT again in co...

Sometimes, you just get 3-4 RC wrong in a row and it drags your score down. You have to find your weakness and then work on it. I thought I was good with RC until I analyzed my score and realized it was really something I had to work onto. I went from 23 to 33 just by addressing my weaknesses. Carl...

Thanks carllecat for the advice. I got 4 RCs: 3 short and 1 long and RC is my weakness. I ran out of time so I had to guess on last 4 RC questions. I thought CR was my strong point but during the test I wasn't able to concentrate and understand the argument clearly. I had SC under control as I had s...

My advice is to focus each day on one section, either math or verbal, and take a practice test of only that section. Then spend your time after the test figuring out where you went wrong and fixing your mistakes. The next day, take another partial test and so on. You can take mgmat, powerprep, and ...

"The number" is considered as singular. Choice A correctly uses "has" with "The number".

Note: "A number" is considered as plural.

Long live MGMAT SC :)

OG and MGMAT books are good to start with. Once you get started, use google to search specific topics to get more ideas.
