C

I replaced x:

If x ≠ 0, then √(x^2)/x =

x=10

10^2=100
√100=10

10/10

or

x=-10

-10^2=100
√100=10

10/10

or

x=2

2^2= 4
√4=2

2/2

Excuse my scepticism, but how the hell can you get a 780 when you didn't answer the last question?

I had a similar situation in which I really didn't expect to get the score I got, but this just seems ridiculous.

Time a factor in score?

I was just wondering if the amount of time you take to do one section, or a single question influences your score? Example: Would somebody with 20 minutes to spare have a higher score than somebody with 1 min. to spare? or Would somebody who takes 1 min for a question get a higher score for that que...

GMAT Math

What's the best resource for improving your GMAT mathamatical ability?

Right now I've been using McGraw-Hill's GMAT for math.

I have these study materials:

  • Kaplan
    Manhattan
    OG 11
but since I am short in time I would like to know which one is best.


Thanks
