I thought about this for a while myself, in the end this is what I came up with: I'm applying to business school. I'm not going to business school. I'm asking them to help me with an application for an opportunity that I can't possibly know whether or not I'll actually take until I have it. It'd be ...

Prep: First, I downloaded the GMATPrep software from www.mba.com . I did both prep tests on back-to-back days, skipping the writing asses...

IMO, "the following" doesn't add anything to the sentence and is unnecessarily verbose. That leaves B and C. It seems to me that the verb form "entering" doesn't agree with the rest of the sentence. I would probably say C, though this one is tricky -- I'm curious if anyone has th...

First, I found how quickly two trains moving at the *same* speed could cover that ground: 287 miles / 3.5 hours = 82 miles per hour That means the trains are moving together at an average of 82 miles per hour. If they were moving at the same speed, that would mean they were each moving 82 / 2 = 41 m...

This seems to me to be an application of the difference of two squares: (a * a - b * b) = (a + b)(a - b) Substituting 1001 for a and 999 for b in the numerator gives us: (1001 + 999) * (1001 - 999) = 2000 * 2 = 4000 We can make a similar substitution in the denominator and get: (101 + 99) * (101 - 9...
