Finished GMAT, what next?
Hi All, This is a very stupid/noob question. I have gained a lot of insight in relation to preparation for the GMAT and all the aspects of the exam from various articles and forums on this web site. I understand that there are similar posts for the MBA application process. But since finishing the GM...

Subtle 10 point differences
I did the GMAT today and scored a 710 (Q48 V38). Yet I've read others with a similar score in Quant and Verbal with an even 700. I hope my score doesn't get revised downwards (unlikely). But the scores would suggest subtle differences within Quant and Verbal scores. The differences in score of 700 (...

Actually, just realised it is simplified if 40 is taken as a baseline: 36 = (40 - 4) ^ 2 37 = (40 - 3) ^ 2 .... 44 = (40 + 4) ^ 2 36^2 = 40^2 - 320 + 16 37^2 = 40^2 - 240 + 9 .... 44^2 = 40^2 + 320 + 14 Therefore there are 9*40^2 = 1600 * 9 Sum of 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 30 30 * 2 (due to both sides of 40)...

Quick One
36^2 + 37^2 + 38^2 + 39^2 + 40^2 + 41^2 + 42^2 + 43^2 + 44^2 =
A) 14400
B) 14440
C) 14460
D) 14500
E) 14520
Need some help in the approach for this one. I cannot see any obvious sequence/series pattern.

Tough Sequences Question
Note: the k and n are subscripts in the question below The infinite sequence Sk is defined as Sk = 10 Sk-1 + k, for all k>1. The infinite sequence An is defined as An = 10 An-1 + (A1 - (n-1)), for all n>1. q is the sum of Sk and An. If S1 = 1 and A1 = 9, and if An is positive, what is the maximum va...

Thanks Dave!
I have found a very good logic guide for anyone that's interested. Again, it is used for mainly LSAT questions, but useful for any conditional statements on the GMAT as well.

Assumption question
40. Marian Anderson, the famous contralto, did not take success for granted. We know this because Anderson had to struggle early in life, and anyone who has to struggle early in life is able to keep a good perspective on the world. The conclusion of the argument follows logically if which one of the...

I guess my main query is how to determine A -> B or B -> A based on the language in the paragraph. If A is described as an action rather than a state of being, and it causes another action/reaction B , then this is a cause and effect version of A -> B . In the first sentence, the inspired musical pe...

Conditional CR
29. If there are any inspired musical performances in the concert, the audience will be treated to a good show. But there will not be a good show unless there are sophisticated listeners in the audience, and to be a sophisticated listener one must understand one’s musical roots. If all of the stat...

Andrea, Thanks very much for explaining the subtle difference through that example. Just as an aside, would it then be awkward to follow up 2) with a sentence that describes further action? Such as: 2) Extension: "The child DREW a square in the sand, but the ocean HAS ERASED it. The child is no...
