This is one of those questions that doesnt really neatly fall into a specific category so i used a plug and chug method to solve it. First clue> both sets are equal to 15: so using the starting point (5,5,5) for the second question you can come up with an instance when both sets are equal to 15 and ...

Thanks for your reply. I have been assigned to Tom Rose; our first session was incredible we went over a few diagnostics and identified some weaknesses that i had in my approach. I will be sure to keep in touch on this post and let you know how things go.

Stacey, As always thank you so much for your insightful replies. My goal is to score above 720; i dont think this is unreasonable as my previous MGMAT tests were in the 660-690 range and my last GMAT Prep exam was around 640. Given these goals do you think two months is an acceptable time frame. Als...
