Hello. I just got back from the test center, and I can proudly say I just Beat the GMAT. 710! I've been waiting since 2009 to write this post. Here is my story and my advice.

Submitting GMAT scores late?
What if you submit your application, retake the gmat before you hear back from the school, and receive a better score... Can you email it to the Ad-com, or will it not be accepted?

Mixture problems: I'm really struggling, any good frameworks
I am really struggling with mixture problems. Does anybody have any good sources for this with a framework like a chart?
I have seen Ron (Thursdays with Ron) use an RTD chart, but I just couldnt make sense of it well enough with the one example.
I'm very into charts for organization...
Thanks.

I think your approach looks good, but I'm not 100% certain what some of your numbers and expressions represent. Can you offer a little more rationale. In the meantime, here's one possible approach: First rewrite speeds as revolutions per second (since the question uses these units) Gear P makes 10 ...

When elements COMPETE, determine the DIFFERENCE between the rates. Q's rate - P's rate = 40-10 = 30 revolutions per minute. Time for Q to make 6 more revolutions = (number of revolutions)/(rate difference) = 6/30 = 1/5 of a minute = 12 seconds. The correct answer is D . Is this always true? So the ...

How many seconds after the gears start rotating will gear Q have made exactly 6 more revolutions than g...

The explanation by MGMAT was quite confusing. There was no need for two variables. A little reasoning through these type of problems makes them go from level 700 to level 500. Here was my thought process. (I am sleepy, so I hope I typed this all in right). -Might need to download picture to see it f...

I am looking for question banks by category: IE... if I wanted to just drill out 12 combinatorics problems, or 20 quadratic problems in a row.
Any recommendations?

Rephrase this inequality when used together...?
Is x < z? (1) x = (1/2)y (2) y = 0.5z Is it proper to say: (answer and question below, incase you wanted to try it out first) [spoiler]2x=y 2y=z so therefore... 4x=z And the answer is E because if x=1, z=4, but x and z could both be zero... Or is this not what is actually being tested?[/spoiler]
