If the average of x,7,2,16 and 11 is equal to the median, What is X?
1)7<x<11
2)x is the median
Answer in a little bit.

I agree with Lanter that first ten question thing is a bit of a myth, of course you want to get them right but the picture is more important. You are in a good position with a 680 to stand on, so when you go back in there the second time you wont be as nervous and you'll hit your target. Im in the s...

What is the OA to this one? I would think the answer is C In D seperating remove and painstakingly seems to be awkward construction of the sentence it makes remove the modifier of painstakingly when it shouls be the other way around.

They are 10 minutes but be careful depending on where you are if the facility is crowded it could take them a couple of minutes to check you back in. When I took it last week I lost a minute in my Verbal section because of that.

I think fsar is correct the AWA seems to be an additional writing sample that shows your ability to write under pressure in your own words, but I dont think it is a primary resource for admission. But I have read that a school can request to see the actual writing sample and can use it to compare wr...

Good luck Isis. But you wont need luck, you have put in the time, you understand what you need to do, stay focused, calm cool and collected. Im sure you will bring home something better than a 600. Make sure you get a good night sleep, and stay positive.

During the test you will get anywhere from three to four RC passages they may come back to back or spread throughout the test. However when you get a RC passage there will be approx. 3-4 questions attached to that passage, they come consecutively with the passage. You will NOT be shown a passage ask...

Eric, I am targeting 700+, I think my upper boundary in quant is a 48 raw score and in verbal a 42 raw score. I think on my best day those would be what I could hope for. Basically I know I can do it in the verbal if the stars align and I keep my concentration, my SC has improved quite a bit so a li...

GMAT Part Deux
Im back I have a question for those of you who are taking the test for the second time around, and for resident experts. What is the strategy you are employing for your second attempt?

Grammatically they are both correct. This is one of those subtleties of language. MGMAT SC has a page or two on it. They mean different things, so if this were being tested on the exam it would depend on what they were trying to say in the sentence.
As Jay said depends on what you are emphasizing.

Chris, They are significantly harder than anything I have observed anywhere else and different. If you want a real kick in the ...check out their "challenge problems". Mastery of their quant can help with the concepts, however that doesnt necessarily make them helpful to scoring higher on ...
