Relaxing technique...
Those of us who have already taken the test know that preparing for GMAT is one thing, taking it is another. No matter how good one is at solving |x-3| > n! ? type data sufficiency questions, replicating that knowledge at the test centre is the key. At the risk of sounding retarded, one technique th...

Only 5 wrong but score down to 42 !!!
Hi all, would really appreciate some help here. Just took the 2nd test on GMATPrep. Got only 5 wrong but somehow scored only 42 (see attached screenshot). Earlier questions all correct and wrong ones fairly spread out. I'm not sure why this is so. Even if I got some difficult ones wrong, score would...

I too answered E in prep test, but correct answer is C. Question stem says P > 10. (1) tells us that 25H >= 150, meaning H >= 6. Not sufficient. (2) tells us that 8P + 25H < 260 If P is 11, 12, 13, ... then H could be 1, 2, 3, etc. Not sufficient. Together, (1) and (2) tell us that Juan bought at le...

Yeah, I do and that only adds to my frustration that GMAC has not created an online version of the official guide despite having the technology to do so! The purpose of GMATFocus (identify strengths and weaknesses in quantitative section) may be different from that of the online guide (grasp concept...

Where can I view Official Guide 12th Edition online?
I really don't understand why the publishers of the Official Guide don't create an online version. All they have to do is provide a link on mba.com and ask people to buy access. There is technology available to ensure that it is not copied easily... just look at GMATFocus tests or Kaplan's online co...

Usually I get them right AFTER the practice test but this one continues to stump me. Can someone please explain why the answer is what it is? --- Juan bought some paperback books that cost $8 each and some hardcover books that cost $25 each. If Juan bought more than 10 paperback books, how many hard...

Good point. I failed to see that this question's answer is a yes/no as opposed to a single value. Thanks for the clarification!

I don't get it. Why is the answer C? Let's look at the question again... If x is a positive integer, is x – 1 a factor of 104? (1) x is divisible by 3. (2) 27 is divisible by x. For x - 1 to be a factor of 104, x -1 must be {1, 2, 4, 8, 13, 21, 52, 104}. Therefore, x must be in {2, 3, 5, 9, 14, 22, ...
