Concerned about Quant Score
Hi, I did my GMAT today and got a 720 (Q44, V45). Obviously being in the 98th percentile for verbal is pretty great, but the more I think of it, the more I'm worried about my score for Quant (70th percentile) I'm pretty concerned that it will be looked down on, especially since I already have a grad...

GMATPrep Reliability
Is the scoring on GMATPrep really reliable? I mean, I did almost no preparation and got 710 and 700. I guess the real test must be somewhat more difficult than the Prep software? Also, I was under the impression that I got quite few questions wrong (especially on the quantitative section) but still ...

I'd say B. A. It's not affected by the science, but by the application of newly discovered principles B. I admit that the past isn't really renewed, it's more our read on it that is, but the other solutions seem "wronger" C. There is no indication that the evolution is that quick D. It's n...

I'd go with B A. There is no evidence that his predictions have been proven wrong at this point. The whole issue is that "responsible" psychologists wouldn't exclude them being proven wrong in future tests. B. Correct C. The fact that psychologists wouldn't be able to develop reliable theo...

I'd say "E" A: Its not because you know when leachate would escape that this gives you a place nearby to bring it (since not all treatment plants can handle leachate) B. This is not true. There won't be leakage untill the landfill's capacity to hold liquids has been exceeded C. Some plants...

Re: Salty Business
I'd go with A, since IF it's true that Black Africans have more of a high-blood-pressure risk because their genes adapted to low-salt environments, it's logical that those BA's that are from salt-rich countries shouldn't have the same issue. Thus: A confirms the conclusion of the researchers. B+C ha...

Re: Evaluate the argument
The facts show that the fear of flying in airplanes is not rational. In 1986 alone there were 38500 fatalities in highway accidents, but from 1980 to the present an average of only 77 accidents on major domestic airlines. The rate for regional airlines was only slightly higher. If the evidence cite...

Re: CR - Inference
A population study based on a 'Representative data sample', a sample just large enough to allow for decently accurate projections found that in 1975 there had been a dramatic reversal of a 10 year tendency toward migration of Litivia residents older than 60 to small towns and rural regions both wit...

Hi sq, Since we know that the number of pigs + number of cows = 2/3s of 60, we know it's 40. (1) tells us that that the number of cows is more than twice the number of pigs. (2) tells us that there's more than 12 pigs. (which means at least 13) So let's again look at the possiblities, taking into ac...

Hi sq, Well, since men, women and children must be positive integers, the number of options is limited. If the ratio women-children is 5-2 and the number of women is less than 30 (statement 2), than that leaves only a few options 5 women - 2 children 10 women - 4 children 15 women - 6 children 20 wo...

Hi ketkoag, You could put this into a simple formula With the thing we're looking for being 6 consecutive positive integers, you could write a formula such as: x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)+(x+4)+(x+5)=105 => 6x+15=105 => 6x=105-15 => 6x=90 => x=15 This means that 15 is the lowest of the 6, hence the others a...

To me, it's C Since x is a positive integer, it is either 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or 9, the average between x and 10 is either 5,5; 6; 6,5; 7; 7,5; 8; 8,5; 9 or 9,5 (1) tells us that z is closer to 10 than to x. (2) tells us that z=5x Let's start with (2): this tells us that, since x is either one of the nu...
