The sad thing is that I think I posted on here three times. All titles included something about "Bombing" the GMAT. I actually went over that CR document from GMAT Club and I got most of that right. I also went through some 1000 SC and OG Verbal Review SC and CR. For RC I used mainly LSAT....

I took the test last month on an hour of sleep and got a 640 (Q47 V31). Today I got a 610 (47Q/28V) and Iactually slept the night be...

Thanks, I don't know what to do. Is 640 even a decent score for top 15 schools?
I am just not sure what to study anymore. I have some LSAT material left..but what else can I use to get good at SC?

Rohu, In your example, the 60 that are in jail already would still be in jail. If another 40 criminals were to come into jail, then the selective process would start again. In your reasoning it seems to point out that they can keep re identifying who should be in jail from that group of 100. If that...

Hey rohu, Got the same answers and explanations you did for questions 2 and 3. I picked C for number 1. It seems to say that that the if C were true then there would be people in jail. This relates to the last sentence of the first paragraph that says "reduction in crime without an increase in ...

Fitzgerald has a great point. I was taking the exams at a Starbucks or at home. I performed best at those locations. For some reason my lowest test scores after studying (a 610) was taken at a library, the most similar location to a test center. For some reason the quietness and formal atmosphere af...

sorry to hear that gayu. Well actually I have started studying again. I know I can do better than what I just did and have been working with a tutor. It's only been a week and he has pointed out some fundamental weaknesses that I am working on right now. You should start studying again. I think that...
